§ 603.200 - Contracting officer responsibilities.

Copy with citation
Copy as parenthetical citation

Contracting officers may use a TIA only in appropriate situations. To do so, the use of a TIA must be justified based on:

The nature of the project, as discussed in § 603.205;

The type of recipient, addressed in § 603.210;

The recipient's commitment and cost sharing, as described in § 603.215;

The degree of involvement of the Government program official, as discussed in § 603.220; and

The contracting officer's judgment that the use of a TIA could benefit the RD&D objectives in ways that likely would not happen if another type of instrument were used (i.e., a contract, grant or cooperative agreement is not feasible or appropriate). Answers to the four questions in § 603.225 form the basis for the contracting officer's judgment.
