(b) In the event of any conflict between the terms proposed by the offeror and the terms in the clause at FAR 52.232-32, Performance-Based Payments, the terms of the clause at FAR 52.232-32 shall govern.

(c) The Contracting Officer will not accept the offeror’s proposed performance-based payment financing if the financing does not conform to the following limitations:

    (1) The Government will make delivery payments only for supplies delivered and accepted, or services rendered and accepted in accordance with payment terms of this contract.

    (2) The terms and conditions of the performance-based payments must-

(i) Comply with FAR 32.1004;

      (ii) Be reasonable and consistent with all other technical and cost information included in the offeror’s proposal; and

      (iii) Their total shall not exceed 90 percent of the contract price if on a whole contract basis, or 90 percent of the delivery item price if on a delivery item basis.

(3) The terms and conditions of the performance-based financing must be in the best interests of the Government.

(d) The offeror’s proposal of performance-based payment financing shall include the following:

    (1) The proposed contractual language describing the performance-based payments (see FAR 32.1004 for appropriate criteria for establishing performance bases and performance-based finance payment amounts).

    (2) A listing of-

(i) The projected performance-based payment dates and the projected payment amounts; and

(ii) The projected delivery date and the projected payment amount.

    (3) Information addressing the Contractor’s investment in the contract.
