Class Deviation 2020-O0011-original - – Revision 1 - Submission of Interim Vouchers Under Classified Contracts, effective December 31, 2022

In response to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) national emergency, this deviation allows interim vouchers under classified contracts to be submitted directly to the disbursing office. Contractors no longer must submit to the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) first. Interim vouchers submitted this way are considered provisionally approved by DCAA.

Required Contracting Officer Actions

1. Direct contractors to submit interim vouchers under classified contracts directly to the disbursing office listed in the contract, using an appropriate method.
2. Require contractors to treat these interim vouchers as provisionally approved by DCAA.
3. Require contractors to follow all program security protocols and continue to safeguard program information when submitting interim vouchers.
