                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION
 
PART 44_SUBCONTRACTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES--Table of Contents
 
                  Subpart 44.2_Consent to Subcontracts
 
Sec.  44.202-1  Responsibilities.

    (a) The cognizant administrative contracting officer (ACO) is 
responsible for consent to subcontracts, except when the contracting 
officer retains the contract for administration or withholds the consent 
responsibility from delegation to the ACO. In such cases, the contract 
administration office should assist the contracting office in its 
evaluation as requested.
    (b) The contracting officer responsible for consent shall review the 
contractor's notification and supporting data to ensure that the 
proposed subcontract is appropriate for the risks involved and 
consistent with current policy and sound business judgment.
    (c) Designation of specific subcontractors during contract 
negotiations does not in itself satisfy the requirements for advance 
notification or consent pursuant to the clause at 52.244-2. However, if, 
in the opinion of the contracting officer, the advance notification or 
consent requirements were satisfied for certain subcontracts evaluated 
during negotiations, the contracting officer shall identify those 
subcontracts in paragraph (k) of the clause at 52.244-2.
