Title: Department of Veterans Affairs
Acquisition Regulation (VAAR)832.202–
4, Security for Government Financing.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0688.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
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
overall financial condition represents
adequate security to warrant paying the
contractor in advance. FAR subpart 32.2

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
32.202–4(a)(2) provides that, subject to
agency regulations, the contracting
officer may determine that an offeror’s
financial condition is adequate security.
