Sec. 3452.237-71  Services of consultants.

    As prescribed in 3437.271, insert the following clause in all 
solicitations and resultant cost-reimbursement contracts:

                   Services of Consultants (AUG 1987)

    Except as otherwise expressly provided elsewhere in this contract, 
and notwithstanding the provisions of the clause of the contract 
entitled ``Subcontracts Under Cost-Reimbursement and Letter Contracts,'' 
the prior written approval of the contracting officer shall be required:
    (a) If any employee of the contractor is to be paid as a 
``consultant'' under this contract; and
    (b) For the utilization of the services of any consultant under this 
contract exceeding the daily rate set forth elsewhere in this contract 
or, if no amount is set forth, $150, exclusive of travel costs, or if 
the services of any consultant under this contract will exceed 10 days 
in any calendar year.

    If that contracting officer's approval is required, the contractor 
shall obtain and furnish to the contracting officer information 
concerning the need for the consultant services and the reasonableness 
of the fees to be paid, including, but not limited to, whether fees to 
be paid to any consultant exceed the lowest fee charged by consultant to 
others for performing consultant services of a similar nature.

                             (End of clause)
