PART 35_RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CONTRACTING--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  35.009  Subcontracting research and development effort.

    Since the selection of R&D contractors is substantially based on the 
best scientific and technological sources, it is important that the 
contractor not subcontract technical or scientific work without the 
contracting officer's advance knowledge. During the negotiation of a 
cost-reimbursement R&D contract, the contracting officer shall obtain 
complete information concerning the contractor's plans for 
subcontracting any portion of the experimental, research, or development 
effort (see also 35.007(c)). Also when negotiating a fixed-price 
contract, the contracting officer should evaluate this information and 
may obtain an agreement that protects the Government's interests. The 
clause at 52.244-2, Subcontracts, prescribed for certain types of 
contracts at 44.204(a), requires the contracting officer's prior 
approval for the placement of certain subcontracts.
