View Rule

This rulemaking amends the DOE Acquisition Regulation to incorporate a "Provisional Payment of Fee or Profit" clause for incentive-type contracts. Provisional payment of fee or profit will allow the Government to provide provisional fee or profit to a contractor at interim times or events as established in the contract in addition to any earned fee or profit based upon the incentive formula. Whereas earned fee or profit belongs to the contractor, provisional fee or profit may be recouped by the Government if the final product or service does not meet contract incentive requirements and has not been earned at final inspection and acceptance.
