Government-furnished property includes, but is not limited to, spares and property furnished for repair, maintenance, overhaul, or modification.

• Prime Contractor Hours Expended: Prime contractor direct labor hours expended on the services performed during the previous Government fiscal year.

7. When you are ready to submit the report, select Submit. This saves your report and returns you to the Select Service Contract page where you can create other SCRs or edit an existing SCR.
