Subcontracting Made Easy

Article Abstract:

A clause included in all government contracts is rarely included in commercial contracts. This is the subcontracts clause. The clause essentially requires the prime contractor to give advance notice and written justification for procurements to the government's administrative contracting offices (ACO). Before awarding the order, the ACO must provide written consent. If the contractor's purchasing system is government approved, certain requirements of the subcontracts clause are waived. The specific items of the clause are listed. A sample of the clause is also provided.
