FAR 52.232-6 Payment Under Communication Service Contracts With Common Carriers.

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 a common-carrier contractor in arrears after the contractor submits invoices for communication services and facilities provided under the contract. Payment is based on the rates and charges stated in the contract's Rates, Charges and Services clause. It matters because it sets the payment timing and basis for regulated communication service contracts.
