• Budget Authority Issue?

  Do contractors not have a duty to say something or the right to investigate on matters? As a contractor the CO actions (if inappropriate) can cause consequences that jeopardize our award, obviously no

• Budget Authority Issue?

  Thank you, Vern!  I have seen the Redbook referenced before; I will take the time to see if I can learn from that now that my curiosity has led me in that direction.  I also appreciate your opinion th

• Budget Authority Issue?

  Hi Retreadfed - The funding is ALL at the Task Order level, but all Task Orders are added up and it goes against the ceiling values at the contract level.  My comment is that with each funding action/

• Budget Authority Issue?

  Thank you for the questions, Vern.  The best question that I think you asked was if it was all on the same account line - which I know as fund cites - which would be certified through the certifying o

• 52.204-14 - Question

  Thank you.  We decided that the clause would be applicable, but not until we "invoiced" since Progress Payments are a financing tool.  To comply, we reported zeros in SAM.  I appreciate the responses.

  Thank you here\_2\_help, it confirms my understanding of the progress payments and how I view the total invoiced amount being zero.  Maybe someone else knows more about the service reporting to see if

• 52.204-14 - Question

  A task order awarded in 2016 has just now hit our Service Contract Reporting list in SAM.  However, this is a FPIF task order and we are working on "progress payments" not "invoices" as we are deliver

• CDRL vs PWS

  I am not sure if this helps with the facts, and to be quite honest I feel I must be missing something major.  Would Product Support be something totally different than the Service Agreements - even th

  I guess I am hoping that if I can have the PCO put clear language in the contract, then that will tell the ACO how to enter it into the system, which should tell DFAS how to pay it.  A wish and a pray

  Hi!  I have a situation where it seems DFAS/ACO/PCO/Contractor have a different expectation of how progress payments should work on this program.  I am looking for guidance that could help everyone ha
