G2 - Line Item and Contract/Order Closeout - OCT 2021 Dormant and/or excess funds consist of funds that are primarily in "expired" or "cancelled" status. Expired funds are no longer available for new obligations, but are available for upward adjustments and payments on prior obligations to include payments on contractor invoices. Cancelled funds are no longer available for upward adjustments to obligations or to pay contractor invoices.

Timely contract closeout of the entire contract/order and of completed individual contract line item number(s) (CLIN) and/or sub line item number(s) (SLIN) is a priority under this contract/order. As such, the Contractor shall submit a final invoice no later than ninety (90) calendar days after the expiration of this contract/order and/or at the expiration of any individual

CLIN(s)/SLIN(s) that expire before the final expiration of the contract/order (i.e., end item(s) was scheduled to be delivered or the period of performance (base or option year) was completed), unless the Contractor requests and is granted a written extension by the Contracting Officer. In addition, and concurrent with the submission of the final invoice for a specific CLIN/SLIN or for the contract/order in its entirety, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of the amount of excess funds that can be deobligated from the CLIN/SLIN or contract/order so the deobligation of any excess funds can be completed as soon as possible.

After ninety (90) days from expiration of a CLIN/SLIN, end item delivery, or contract/order in its entirety, unless an extension had been requested and granted by the Contracting Officer in writing, a bilateral contract/order modification to deobligate excess funds and/or closeout the contract/order in its entirety will be forwarded to the Contractor by the Contracting Officer. The modification must be signed and returned to the Contracting Officer within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt . A Contractor's failure to respond and/or sign the bilateral modification within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt will constitute approval of the terms of the modification and the modification will subsequently be processed unilaterally by the Contracting Officer to deobligate excess funds and/or closeout the contract/order.

For cost reimbursement CLINs/SLINs, contracting officers will use FAR 42.708, Quick-closeout procedures to the maximum extent possible after the contract/order is physically complete. Should the contract/order require audit/review (e.g., audits conducted by the Defense Contract Audit Agency), excess funds/balances from CLIN(s)/SLIN(s) that are not required to satisfy potential adjustments as a result of the review/audit will be removed from the CLIN(s)/SLIN(s) through a bilateral modification.

The modification will be forwarded by the Contracting Officer and must be signed by the Contractor and returned within thirty

(30) calendar days of receipt. A Contractor's failure to respond within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt will constitute approval of the terms of the modification and the modification will subsequently be processed unilaterally by the Contracting Officer to remove the excess funds/balances on the associated CLINs/SLINs. If the Contractor disagrees with amount for deobligation they will notify the Contracting Officer promptly with the proposed amount and rationale for deobligation.

Communications with the Contractor will be conducted with the identified Point(s) of Contact (POC) identified in G1 of this contract/order. Should a change in POC be required, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer.
