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

FAR 52.232-2 Payments Under Fixed-Price Research and Development Contracts.

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 the Government to pay the Contractor the contract prices for work delivered or rendered and accepted, after submitting proper invoices or vouchers, minus any deductions the contract allows. Unless the contract says otherwise, payment is made upon acceptance of each separately priced portion of the work. It matters because it sets the payment trigger and timing for fixed-price research and development contracts.

Applies to: Fixed-price research and development contracts
