DoD discontinues accelerated payments to prime contractors; small businesses exempt

The Department of Defense (DoD) has issued a notice that DoD has discontinued its temporary practice of providing accelerated payments to all contractors.  This new rule is found at 78 FedReg 12745, issued on Feb. 25, 2013.

DoD originally provided notice in the Federal Register at 77 FedReg 63298, on October 16, 2012, that it had taken steps to accelerate payments to all DoD prime contractors, in order to implement the temporary policy established in OMB Memorandum M-12-16, Providing Prompt Payment to Small Business Subcontractors (July 11, 2012).

With the latest notice, DoD discontinues its temporary practice of accelerating payments to all prime contractors. This action does not affect DoD’s policy to assist small business prime contractors by paying them as quickly as possible after receipt of an invoice and all proper documentation, while also maintaining necessary DoD internal controls.

DoD plans to continue phased implementation of the policy at DFARS 232.903 and 232.906. This notice is effective February 25, 2013.
