The SF 1035 will be used for additional information required by the

Contracting Officer and should be submitted as a continuation sheet to the SF 1034. Suitable self-designed forms may be submitted instead of the SF 1035 as long as they contain the information required. The information required on the

SF 1035 may differ in format and content depending on the type of cost reimbursable contract (cost plus fixed fee, cost plus incentive fee, time and materials, etc.)

Amounts claimed on vouchers must be based on records maintained by the contractor to show by major cost element the amounts claimed for reimbursement for each applicable contract. The records must be maintained based on the contractor's fiscal year and should include reconciliations of any differences between the costs incurred per books and amounts claimed for reimbursement.

Form 1035 is set forth as follows:

b. Each invoice or voucher for reimbursement shall include sufficient detail to identify costs properly chargeable to the contract. In addition, each invoice or voucher for reimbursement of costs shall detail the total vouchered charges by showing current and cumulative costs by cost element as follows:

(2) Premium Pay/Overtime. List each labor category, rate per labor hour, hours worked, and the extended total labor dollars per labor category. Note: Advance written authorization must be received from the contracting officer to work overtime or to pay premium rates; therefore, identify the contracting officer's written authorization to the contractor.

(4) Materials, Supplies, Equipment. Show those items normally treated as direct costs. Expendable items need not be itemized and may be grouped into major classifications such as office supplies. However, items valued at $5,000 or more must be itemized. See (FAR) 48 CFR part 45, Government

Property, for reporting of property.
