CFM

Contractor Furnished Material refers to materials, supplies, and components that the contractor provides for contract performance rather than receiving from the government. CFM responsibilities include procurement, storage, handling, and incorporation of materials into deliverables.

CFM provisions in contracts establish contractor obligations for material quality, availability, and cost management. Understanding CFM versus GFM distinctions affects pricing, risk allocation, and supply chain management approaches. CFM costs are typically included in contract prices and subject to cost allowability rules.
