FAR 52.232-19 Availability of Funds for the Next Fiscal Year.

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 states that funds are not currently available for contract performance beyond a specified date. The Government's obligation to pay for work past that date depends on appropriated funds becoming available, and no Government liability for payment arises until funds are available and the Contractor is notified in writing by the Contracting Officer. It matters because a contractor may not be paid for work performed beyond that date unless funds are later made available and proper notice is given.

Applies to: Contracts that include this clause, as prescribed in FAR 32.706-1(b)

Key terms: funds are not presently available · contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds · no legal liability on the part of the Government · Contracting Officer · notice of availability
