# Class Deviation 2015-O0017
# Class Deviation 2015-O0017 - Earned Value Management System Threshold

Status: Active
Date Issued: SEP 2015
Scope: All DoD contracting officers using DFARS provisions and clauses related to Earned Value Management Systems

## Summary

This deviation establishes a $100 million threshold for formal Earned Value Management System (EVMS) compliance determinations, replacing the prior $20 million threshold in DFARS 252.234-7001 and 252.234-7002. Contracts and proposals at or above $100 million require a CFA-approved EVMS, while those below $100 million require written management procedures but no formal government compliance determination. Both the solicitation provision and the contract clause are replaced in their entirety with deviation versions dated September 2015.

## Required Contracting Officer Actions

1. Use the deviation version of DFARS 252.234-7001 (Notice of Earned Value Management System) in solicitations as prescribed in 234.203(1)
2. Use the deviation version of DFARS 252.234-7002 (Earned Value Management System) in contracts as prescribed in 234.203(2)
3. Insert names of applicable subcontractors (or subcontracted effort if subcontractors have not been selected) in paragraph (k)(1) and (k)(2) of the 252.234-7002 clause

## Affected Provisions and Clauses

### 252.234-7001,  (Clause)
- Prescribed in: 234.203(1)
- Change type: MODIFIED
- Action: Modify clause 252.234-7001

### 252.234-7002,  (Clause)
- Prescribed in: 234.203(2)
- Change type: MODIFIED
- Action: Modify clause 252.234-7002

## Notes

Threshold Change: The key change under this deviation is the shift of the formal EVMS compliance threshold from $20 million to $100 million for both the solicitation provision and the contract clause.

Below-Threshold Contracts: For contracts valued at less than $100 million, the government will not make a formal determination of EVMS compliance with ANSI/EIA-748, and use of the contractor's EVMS does not imply compliance for future contracts.

Subcontract Requirements: Subcontracts valued at $100 million or more must comply with all EVMS clause requirements; subcontracts valued at less than $100 million must comply with all requirements except paragraph (c) of the clause.
