Federal contract information means information, not intended for public release, that is provided by or generated for the Government under a contract to develop or deliver a product or service to the Government, but not including information provided by the Government to the public (such as on public websites) or simple transactional information, such as necessary to process payments.
Information means any communication or representation of knowledge such as facts, data, or opinions, in any medium or form, including textual, numerical, graphic, cartographic, narrative, or audiovisual (Committee on National Security Systems Instruction (CNSSI) 4009).
Information system means a discrete set of information resources organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of information (44 U.S.C. 3502).

FISCAL YEAR FUNDING AMOUNT
On award of contract $_________ (amount will be specified at the time of award)
(c) For work identified in paragraph (b) of this clause, the Contractor agrees to perform up to the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including reimbursement in the event of termination of specified work for the Government's convenience, approximates the total amount currently allotted to the contract. The Contractor shall not be obligated to continue performance of this work beyond that point. The Government shall not be obligated in any event to reimburse the Contractor in excess of the amount allotted to the contract for this work notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause of this contract.
(d) Notwithstanding the date specified in paragraph (b) of this clause, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing at least sixty days prior to the date when, in the Contractor's best judgment, http://www.saferfederalworkforce.gov/ the work will reach the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including any cost for termination for convenience, will approximate 75 percent of the total amount then allotted to the contract for performance of work identified in paragraph (b) of this clause. The notification shall state (1) the estimated date when that point will be reached and (2) an estimate of additional funding, if any, needed to continue performance of the work up to the next scheduled date for allotment of funds identified in paragraph (b) of this clause, or to a mutually agreed upon substitute date. The notification shall also advise the Contracting Officer of the estimated amount of additional funds that will be required for the timely performance of work funded pursuant to this clause, for a subsequent period as may be specified in the allotment schedule in paragraph (b) of this clause or otherwise agreed to by the parties. If after such notification additional funds are not allotted by the date identified in the Contractor's notification, or by an agreed substitute date, the Contracting Officer shall terminate any work for which additional funds have not been allotted, pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause of this contract.

(f) If, solely by reason of failure of the Government to allot additional funds in amounts sufficient for timely performance of the work identified in paragraph (b) of this clause, the Contractor incurs additional costs or is delayed in the performance of the work under this contract and if additional funds are allotted, an equitable adjustment will be made in the price or prices (including appropriate target, billing, and ceiling prices where applicable) of work, or in the time of delivery, or both. Failure to agree to any such equitable adjustment hereunder shall be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the Disputes clause of this contract.
(g) The Government may at any time prior to termination allot additional funds for the performance of the work identified in paragraph (b) of this clause.
(h) The termination provisions of this clause do not limit the rights of the Government under the Default clause of this contract.
