                       Subpart D_Competition Phase
 
Sec.  37.410  Should my announcement or solicitation state that TIAs may be awarded?

    Yes, once you consider the factors described in subpart B of this 
part and decide that TIAs are among the types of instruments that you 
may award pursuant to a solicitation, it is important for you to state 
that fact in the solicitation. You also should state that TIAs are more 
flexible than traditional Government funding instruments and that 
provisions are negotiable in areas such as audits and intellectual 
property rights that may cause concern for commercial firms. Doing so 
should increase the likelihood that commercial firms will be willing to 
submit proposals.
