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.
