5-8.5 Availability of Funds

The CO may not execute a contract modification that causes or will cause an increase in funds without having first met with the purchase/SCM team and obtained a certification of funds availability, except for modifications to contracts that:

  1. Are conditioned on availability of funds.
  2. Contain a limitation of cost or funds clause.

The certification of funds availability should be based on the negotiated price. Modifications signed before there is price agreement may be based on the best available estimate.
