                      Subpart 46.3_Contract Clauses
 
Sec.  46.308  Cost-reimbursement research and development contracts.

    The contracting officer shall insert the clause at 52.246-8, 
Inspection of Research and Development--Cost-Reimbursement, in 
solicitations and contracts for research and development when (a) the 
primary objective of the contract is the delivery of end items other 
than designs, drawings, or reports, and (b) a cost-reimbursement 
contract is contemplated; unless use of the clause is impractical and 
the clause prescribed in 46.309 is considered to be more appropriate. If 
it is contemplated that the contract will be on a no-fee basis, the 
contracting officer shall use the clause with its Alternate I.
