            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM

 

                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION

 

PART 44_SUBCONTRACTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES--Table of Contents

 

                  Subpart 44.2_Consent to Subcontracts

 

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.
