Abstract: The information that is
gathered under VAAR 832.202–4 will be
used by the VA contracting officer to
assess whether or not the contractor’s

Government financing on commercial
item purchases. 41 United States Code
(U.S.C.) 255(f) requires the Government
to obtain adequate security for
Government financing. However, FAR

agency regulations, the contracting
officer may determine that an offeror’s
financial condition is adequate security.
VAAR 832.202–4 Security for

type of information that the contracting
officer may obtain to determine whether
or not the offeror’s financial condition
constitutes adequate security.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Estimated Annual Burden: 63 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 60 minutes.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
21.
By direction of the Secretary.
