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

DFARS 252.236-7000 Modification proposals—price breakdown.

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 requires a contractor to submit a detailed price breakdown with any proposal for a contract modification. The breakdown must be itemized as directed by the Contracting Officer and within the specified time, and must cover all work involved in the modification. It matters because a modification proposal without the required price breakdown and justification for any time extension may be incomplete.

Applies to: Contractors submitting proposals for contract modifications under this clause

What it requires

  • Furnish a price breakdown, itemized as required and within the time specified by the Contracting Officer, with any proposal for a contract modification
  • Include sufficient detail to permit an analysis of profit and of all costs for material, labor, equipment, subcontracts, and overhead
  • Cover all work involved in the modification, whether deleted, added, or changed
  • Provide similar price breakdowns to support any amounts claimed for subcontracts
