        <RULE_TITLE>Performance-Based Payments (DFARS Case 2011-D045)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to provide detailed guidance and instructions on the use of the performance-based payments (PBP) analysis tool. The PBP analysis tool is a cash-flow model for evaluating alternative financing arrangements, and is required to be used by all contracting officers contemplating the use of PBPs on new fixed-price type contract awards resulting from solicitations issued on or after July 1, 2011. This rule will help ensure that performance-based payments never exceed total cost incurred at any point during the contract. The PBP analysis tool calculates improved financing opportunities that will provide benefit to both industry (prime and subcontractor level) and the taxpayer. No significant impact on small entities is anticipated because requiring use of the PBP tool does not require contractors to expend significant effort or cost.]]></ABSTRACT>
