FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 52: Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses › Subpart 52.2

FAR 52.213-2 Invoices.

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 an invoice before any payment can be made. The invoice must state the subscription delivery start and end dates and confirm that orders have been placed or will be placed upon payment. It matters because without a compliant invoice, the contractor will not be paid.

Applies to: Contractors submitting invoices under subscription-type contracts

What it requires

  • Submit invoices before payment can be made
  • State the starting and ending dates of the subscription delivery on the invoice
  • State either that orders have been placed in effect for the required addressees or that they will be placed in effect upon receipt of payment
