DFARS Part 216 and the clauses at
252.216-7000, 252.216-7001, and 252.216-7003 require contractors to
submit information to the contracting officers, which is used in
adjusting established contract prices pursuant to the economic
price adjustment provisions of the clauses.
The estimated changes are based
on a decrease in projected hours, which is attributed to a decline
in the number of fixed-price contracts being awarded with a DFARS
part 216 economic price adjustment clause. The overall decline in
the number of contract awards may also be associated with and
attributed to the drawdown in Iraq and Afghanistan. The drawdown,
which began during FY 2011, was projected to taper off by the end
of 2014. Based on current economic conditions, the number of annual
number of contract associated with DFARS 252.216-7000, -7001, and
-7003 is expected to remain relatively stable for the next three
years.
