DATA ITEM DESCRIPTION

Title: Contract Funds Status Report (CFSR) Number: NA (DOE Version October 2018) Approval Date: 20181025 Preparing Activity: Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Project Management (PM)

Use/relationship:

The Contract Funds Status Report (CFSR) [Sample Form DD 1586 attached and at http://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/forms/dd/dd1586.pdf], is designed to supply funding data about individual projects to Federal Project Directors and Contracting Officers for: (a) updating and forecasting contract funds requirements for the identified project, (b) planning and decision making on funding changes to contracts for the identified project, (c) developing funds requirements and budget estimates in support of the identified project, (d) determining funds in excess of contract needs for the identified project and available for deobligation, and (e) obtaining rough estimates of termination costs.

This Data Item Description (DID) contains the format and content preparation instructions for the data product generated by the specific and discrete task requirements as delineated in the contract. A CFSR should be completed for each individual project, not necessarily at the overall contract level which may encompass numerous projects, operations and other work activity.

The CFSR is used in conjunction with the Contract Performance Report (CPR)/Integrated Program Management Report (IPMR). Reference Contract Funds Status Report (CFSR) Overview & Reconciliation with IPMR/CPR (snippet 2.4 located at https://www.energy.gov/projectmanagement/evms-trainingsnippets) for more information. The CPR/IPMR formats are further described in snippets 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3.

Contractual Application. The CFSR is applicable to contracts for capital asset projects greater than $50M where EVMS is required. A CFSR should be prepared for each individual project with a unique PARS number. In blocks 9 through 14, the values entered should be for the specified project and not at the overarching contract level.

Level of Reporting. If a contract is funded with a single appropriation, a single line entry at the total contract level should be considered for CFSR reporting. Reporting by line item or WBS element will be limited to only those items or elements needed to support funds management requirements. A reduced level of reporting may be implemented on contracts (a) with projects less than $100M; (b) that are for time and material; or (c) for which only limited funding requirements information is needed.

Multiple Appropriations. Where two or more appropriation sources are used for funding a single contract, contractors will segregate funds data by appropriation accounting reference. The contracting officer will supply the appropriation numbers applicable to individual line items or WBS elements. If a single line item or WBS element is funded by more than one appropriation, methods for segregating and reporting such information will be negotiated and specified in the contract.

Frequency and Submission. The CFSR will be a contractual requirement and reported as part of the PARS Upload. Unless otherwise provided in the contract, the CFSR will be prepared as of the end of each

calendar quarter or contractor accounting period nearest the end of each quarter. The required number of copies of the CFSR will be forwarded within 25 calendar days after the "as of" date of the report, or as otherwise specified in the contract. In the event of exceptional circumstances which call for increased frequency in reporting, such frequency will not be more often than monthly and will be negotiated and specified in the contract.
Explanations of Terms.
Open Commitments. For this report, a commitment represents the estimated obligation of the contractor (excluding accrued expenditures) to vendors or subcontractors (based on the assumption that the contract will continue to completion).
Accrued Expenditures. For this report, include recorded or incurred costs as defined within the Allowable Cost, Fee and Payments Clause (FAR 52.216-7) for cost type contracts or the Progress Payments Clause (FAR 52.232-16) for fixed price type contracts, plus the estimated fee or profit earned. Such costs include:
Actual payments for services or items purchased directly for the contract.
Costs incurred, but not necessarily paid, for storeroom issues, direct labor, direct travel, direct other in-house costs and allocated indirect costs.
Progress payments made to subcontractors.
Pension costs provided they are paid at least quarterly.
Termination Costs. Although this report is prepared on the basis that the contract will continue to completion, it is necessary to report estimated termination cost by government fiscal year and generally by more frequent intervals on incrementally funded contracts. The frequency will be dependent on the funding need dates (i.e., quarterly) and should be compatible with the contract funding clauses, Limitation of Funds clause (cost type contracts) or Limitation of Obligation clause (fixed price type contracts). Termination costs include such items as loss of useful life of special tooling, special machinery and equipment; rental cost of unexpired leases; and settlement expenses. The definition of termination costs is included in FAR 31.205-42.
The CFSR data upload requirements may be "tailored" as defined in the PARS Upload Requirements.

When the contractor has developed a range of estimates at completion, the most likely estimate shall be used to develop the projected cumulative data in this item.
Column Headings. Columns 2 through 9 will be headed to indicate periods covering the life of the contract or fiscal year being reported and may be headed to show months, quarters, half years and/or fiscal years as prescribed by the contracting officer.
Data Composition. Projected data should include all planned obligations, anticipated accruals, anticipated over/under targets (total cost to the Government recognizing contractor participation), G&A, and fee/profit. For award fee contracts, the fee actually awarded will be included in Column 1, Actual to Date. The contractor shall describe in the Remarks section the amount, by period, and rationale for any award fee projections included in Columns 2 through 10.

Item 14 - Estimated Termination Costs. In the columns provided, enter the estimated costs that would be necessary to liquidate all government obligations if the contract were to be terminated in that period. These entries are the amounts required in addition to the amounts shown in Item 12. Applicable fee/profit should be included. These entries may consist of "rough order of magnitude" estimates and will not be construed as providing formal notification having contractual significance. This estimate will be used to assist the Government in budgeting for the potential incurrence of such cost. On contracts with Limitation of Funds/Obligation clauses, where termination costs are included as part of the funding information in Block 11, enter the amounts required for termination reserve on this line.
