FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 217: Special Contracting Methods › Subpart 217.74

DFARS 217.7405 Plans and reports.

The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.

In plain English

This section requires defense departments and agencies to manage and oversee Undefinitized Contract Actions (UCAs) through a Consolidated UCA Management Plan and semi-annual reports. Reports must cover each UCA with an estimated value over $5 million and be submitted twice a year. It matters to contractors because it means their UCAs will be tracked and reported at a high level within the Department of Defense.

Applies to: Departments and agencies of the Department of Defense

What it requires

  • Prepare and maintain a Consolidated UCA Management Plan
  • Prepare semi-annual Consolidated UCA Management Reports for each UCA with an estimated value exceeding $5 million
  • Submit reports and plan updates to the specified office by October 31 and April 30 each year
  • Include in reports information about unpriced change orders with an estimated value exceeding $5 million
