Instructions
General - All dollar amounts must be shown in whole dollars, rounded using a consistent methodology (e.g.,
always round up, always round down, always round to the nearest dollar). All line item numbers not
included in the instructions below are self-explanatory.
Section I - Identification Information. Complete Items 1 through 8b in accordance with the following
instructions.

STANDARD FORM 1443 (REV. 10/2023) PAGE 2

Item 1. To - Enter the name and address of the cognizant Contract Administration Office (the office
administering the contract). Paying Office - Enter the designation of the paying office, as indicated on the
contract.
Item 2. From - Contractor's Name and Address/ZIP Code - Enter the name and mailing address of the
contractor. If applicable, the division of the company performing the contract should be entered immediately
following the contractor's name.
Item 3. Enter an "X" in the appropriate block to indicate whether or not the contractor is a small business
concern.
Item 4. Enter the contract number, including the task or delivery order number if applicable. Progress
payment requests under individual orders shall be submitted as if the order constituted a separate contract,
unless otherwise specified in this contract (FAR 52.232-16(m)).
Item 5. Enter the total contract price in accordance with the following (See FAR 32.501-3):
(1) Under firm-fixed-price contracts, the contract price is the current amount fixed by the contract plus
the not-to-exceed amount for any unpriced modifications.
(2) If the contract is redeterminable or subject to economic price adjustment, the contract price is the initial
price until modified.
(3) Under a fixed-price incentive contract, the contract price is the target price plus the not-to-exceed
amount for any unpriced modifications. However, if the contractor's properly incurred costs exceed the
target price, the contracting officer may provisionally increase the price up to the ceiling or maximum
price.
(4) Under a letter contract, the contract price is the maximum amount obligated by the contract as modified.
(5) Under an unpriced order issued against a basic ordering agreement, the contract price is the maximum
amount obligated by the order, as modified.

rounding down would produce a rate below the minimum rate calculated (FAR 32.503-10(b)(4)).

Item 11. Costs eligible for progress payments under the progress payments clause. Compute the eligible

Item 12b. Enter the estimated cost to complete the contract. The contractor shall furnish estimates to

request. The estimates to complete shall represent the contractor's best estimate of total costs to complete

permit Government verification.

payments, and commercial financing) on subcontracts which are in accordance with the requirements of
FAR 52.232-16(j). Do not include interim payments under a cost reimbursement contract.

items delivered, invoiced and accepted to the applicable date. In order of preference, these costs are to be
computed on the basis of one of the following: (a) The actual unit cost of items delivered, giving proper
consideration to the deferment of the starting load costs or (b) projected unit costs (based on experienced
costs plus the estimated cost to complete the contract), where the contractor maintains cost data which will
clearly establish the reliability of such estimates.

and those to be liquidated from billings submitted but not yet paid (monies to be recouped from the
contractor on submitted but unpaid billings).
