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

FAR 52.241-12 Nonrefundable, Nonrecurring Service Charge.

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 allows the Government to pay a nonrefundable, nonrecurring service charge when a utility contractor's rules require customers to pay such a charge for initiating service, contributing to construction, or obtaining a nonrefundable membership. The charge is added to the contractor's schedule and may be in addition to or instead of a connection charge. It matters because it ensures the contractor can recover these specific charges from the Government.

Applies to: Contracts with utility service providers where the contractor's rules require nonrefundable, nonrecurring charges.

What it requires

  • Pay a nonrefundable, nonrecurring charge when the contractor's rules require it.
  • Add the charge to the contractor's schedule with the specified amount and payment dates.

Key terms: nonrefundable, nonrecurring service charge · initiation of service · contribution in aid of construction · nonrefundable membership fee · connection charge
