associated contract clauses in part 252 that offerors and
contractors must submit to DoD in response to a request for
proposals or an invitation for bids or a contract requirement.
The solicitation provision and contract clause associated with

•

Evaluate claims of indemnification for losses or damages

occurring under a research and development contract; and
•

Keep track of radio frequencies on electronic equipment

under research and development contracts so that the user does
not override or interfere with the use of that frequency by
another user.
