45.306-3  Special tooling under fixed-price contracts.



    (a) Criteria for acquisition. In deciding whether or not to acquire 

title to special tooling, or rights to title, under fixed-price 

contracts, the contracting officer shall consider the following factors:

    (1) The current or probable future need of the Government for the 

items involved (including in-house use) and the estimated cost of 

producing them if not acquired.

    (2) The estimated residual value of the items.

    (3) The administrative burden and other expenses incident to 

reporting, recordkeeping, preparation, handling transportation, and 

storage.

    (4) The feasibility and probable cost of making the items available 

to other offerors in the event of future acquisitions.

    (5) The amount offered by the contractor for the right to retain the 

items.

    (6) The affect on future competition and contract pricing.

    (b) Decision not to acquire special tooling. In contracts in which 

the Government will not acquire title to special tooling, or rights to 

title, special requirements may be included in the Schedule of the 

contract (e.g., requirement governing the contractor's capitalization of 

special tooling costs).
