Re: Fwd: For-profit FAR clauses Muth, Lisa D 15 Jan 2008 17:36 EST
Patrick, You need to go to the prescriptions for each clause in question. The prescription lays out which clause or alternate is specific to each different situation. When you look up the clause, the prescription is the first thing you see ex: "The following clause shall be used as prescribed in 323.7002" Good luck.

We understand that the for-profit FAR clauses do not apply to us as a non-profit but the prime says they do. Thanks for any input.
