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

DFARS 252.204-7006 Billing Instructions—Cost Vouchers.

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 tells contractors how to fill out cost voucher payment requests under a covered contract. It requires tying each request to the contract line items that reflect actual work performed and showing a separate dollar amount for each of those line items. Following it helps avoid payment delays caused by unclear or lumped-together vouchers.

Applies to: Contractors submitting cost voucher payment requests under contracts that include this clause

What it requires

  • Identify the contract line item(s) on the payment request that reasonably reflect contract work performance
  • Separately identify a payment amount for each contract line item included in the payment request
