Sec. 1515.606-70  Contracting methods.

    The Department of Housing and Urban Development-Independent Agencies 
Appropriation Act contains a requirement that none of the funds provided 
in the Act may be used for payment through grants or contracts to 
recipients that do not share in the cost of conducting research 
resulting from proposals that are not specifically solicited by the 
Government. Accordingly, contracts for research which result from 
unsolicited proposals shall provide for the contractor to bear a portion 
of the cost of performance for work subject to the Act. The extent of 
the cost sharing shall reflect the mutuality of interest of the 
contractor and the Government. Therefore, where there is no measurable 
gain to the performing organization, cost sharing is not required.
