FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 252: Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses › Subpart 252.2

DFARS 252.204-7002 Payment for Contract Line or Subline Items Not Separately Priced.

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 clause explains that when a contract schedule has line or subline items marked 'not separately priced' (NSP), their unit price is already included in the price of another related line or subline item. It matters because it restricts when a contractor may invoice for an item whose price includes an NSP item. The clause does not apply to technical data.

Applies to: Contractors with contract line or subline items identified as not separately priced (NSP)

What it requires

  • Do not invoice the Government for an item that includes in its price an NSP item until the Contractor has also delivered the NSP item included in the price of the item being invoiced
  • Do not invoice the Government for an item that includes in its price an NSP item until the Government has accepted the NSP item
