            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM
 
                    CHAPTER 2--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
 
PART 232--CONTRACT FINANCING--Table of Contents
 
                   Subpart 232.8--Assignment of Claims
 
Sec. 232.803  Policies.


    (b) Only contracts for personal services may prohibit the assignment 
of claims.
    (d) Pursuant to Section 3737(e) of the Revised Statutes (41 U.S.C. 
15), and in accordance with Presidential delegation dated October 3, 
1995, Secretary of Defense delegation dated February 5, 1996, and Under 
Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics) delegation 
dated February 23, 1996, the Director of Defense Procurement determined 
on May 10, 1996, that a need exists for DoD to agree not to reduce or 
set off any money due or to become due under the contract when the 
proceeds under the contract have been assigned in accordance with the 
Assignment of Claims provision of the contract. This determination was 
published in the Federal Register on June 11, 1996, as required by law. 
Nevertheless, if departments/agencies decide it is in the Government's 
interests, or if the contracting officer makes a determination in 
accordance with FAR 32.803(d) concerning a significantly indebted 
offeror, they may exclude the no-setoff commitment.
