                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION

 

PART 27_PATENTS, DATA, AND COPYRIGHTS--Table of Contents

 

                          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.
