FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 49: Termination of Contracts › Subpart 49.3

FAR 49.302 Discontinuance of 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 section tells a contractor when to stop using Standard Form 1034 vouchers after a contract is completely terminated. It sets a deadline of the last day of the sixth month after the termination's effective month, allows the contractor to stop earlier, and requires a substantiated fee proposal to the TCO within one year unless extended.

Applies to: Contractors whose contracts have been completely or partially terminated

What it requires

  • Do not use Standard Form 1034 after the last day of the sixth month following the month the termination is effective
  • Submit a substantiated proposal for fee to the TCO within 1 year from the effective date of termination, unless the period is extended by the TCO
  • When vouchers are discontinued, submit all unvouchered costs and the proposed fee as specified in 49.303
