Hi Isabella:

I have a contract with the DOD, and it specially has the below clause in it.

5.	Fixed-Amount Awards and Fixed-Amount Subawards

You are not authorized to treat this award or any subawards that you enter into under this award, at any tier, as fixed-amount awards. The inherently unpredictable nature of basic and applied research makes it rarely, if ever, possible to define specific research outcomes in advance, which makes fixed-amount awards inappropriate for research. This is not applicable to procurement contracts entered into under this award for acquisition of supplies, equipment, or general support services you need to carry out the project or program.

Also attached are the T&C form 2015 that my contract falls under, so there might be a new version out there, but the attached document has further fixed price information in it.

Cordially,
Marianne Green
Contracts & Grants Analyst

Hi,

Does anyone know if under a DOD cost reimbursement award prior approval is required to issue a fixed price subaward,  and where I can find the DOD guidelines for it?

Thank you,
Isabella Johnsen
