832.202–4, Security for Government
Financing.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0688.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: This request for an
extension is for VAAR 832.202–4,
Security for Government Financing.
FAR subpart 32.2 authorizes the use of
certain types of Government financing
on commercial item purchases. 41
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.
VAAR 832.202–4, Security for
Government Financing, specifies the
type of information that the contracting
officer may obtain to determine whether
or not the offeror’s financial condition
constitutes adequate security.
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.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit and not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated Annual Burden: VAAR
832.202–4—10 Burden Hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: VAAR 832.202–4—1 Hour.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
VAAR 832.202–4—10.
By direction of the Secretary.
