This section specifies the minimum information that a contractor must include when seeking a contract adjustment that would facilitate the national defense, as set forth in Public Law 85-804. The request, normally a letter, shall state as a minimum - (1) The precise adjustment requested; (2) The essential facts, summarized chronologically in narrative form; (3) The contractor's conclusions based on these facts, showing, in terms of the considerations set forth in FAR 50.103-1 and 50.103-2, when the contractor considers itself entitled to the adjustment; and (4) Whether or not - (i) All obligations under the contracts involved have been discharged; (ii) Final payment under the contracts involved has been made; (iii) Any proceeds from the request will be subject to assignment or other transfer, and to whom; and (iv) The contractor has sought the same, or a similar or related, adjustment from the Government Accountability Office or any other part of the Government, or anticipates doing so. If the request exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold, the contractor must certify that the request is made in good faith and the data are accurate and complete. b. FAR 50.103-4, Facts and Evidence. This section covers additional information that the contracting officer or other agency official may request from the contractor to support any request made under FAR 50.103-3. c. FAR 50.104-3 Special Procedures for Unusually Hazardous or Nuclear Risks. This section provides the information a contractor shall submit to the contracting officer when requesting the inclusion of the indemnification clause for unusually hazardous or nuclear risks at FAR 52.250-1. d. FAR 52.250-1, Indemnification Under Public Law 85-804. This clause allows contractors to be indemnified against unusually hazardous or nuclear risks.

Short Statement: This extension includes adjustments to the public and Government burden estimates based on the following: • The estimated cost per hour is based on use of the calendar year 2025 OPM GS wage rates for the rest of the United States. • There are no known sources of data related to this information collection. Previous extensions of the collection used data for FY 2015 from a manual data pull which required a significant administrative burden from the Department of Defense components to obtain. For this extension, a reasonable estimate of the number of respondents and responses was obtained based on FPDS data for fiscal years 2021 through 2024.
