                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION

                          Subpart 27.2_Patents
 
Sec.  27.201-2  Clauses on authorization and consent.

    (a) The contracting officer shall insert the clause at 52.227-1, 
Authorization and Consent, in solicitations and contracts (including 
those for construction; architect-engineer services; dismantling, 
demolition, or removal of improvements; and noncommon carrier 
communication services), except when using simplified acquisition 
procedures or both complete performance and delivery are outside the 
United States, its possessions, and Puerto Rico. Although the clause is 
not required when simplified acquisition procedures are used, it may be 
used with them.
    (b) The contracting officer shall insert the clause with its 
Alternate I in all R&D solicitations and contracts (including those for 
construction and architect-engineer services calling exclusively for R&D 
work or exclusively for experimental work), unless both complete 
performance and delivery are outside the United States, its possessions, 
and Puerto Rico. When a proposed contract involves both R&D work and 
supplies or services, and the R&D work is the primary purpose of the 
contract, the contracting officer shall use this alternate. In all other 
proposed contracts involving both R&D work and supplies or services, the 
contracting officer shall use the basic clause. Also, when a proposed 
contract involves either R&D or supplies and materials, in addition to 
construction or architect-engineer work, the contracting officer shall 
use the basic clause.
    (c) If the solicitation or contract is for communication services 
with a common carrier and the services are unregulated and not priced by 
a tariff schedule set by a regulatory body, the contracting officer 
shall use the clause with its Alternate II.
