Good afternoon FUN with the FAR Friends!
Thank you for joining us for another great episode of FUN with the FAR! Episode 24 covered FAR Part 45 (Government Property), Part 46 (Quality Assurance) & Part 47 (Transportation)
As a follow-up to Wednesday’s session, here are a few facts to ponder as we prepare for our next session of Fun with the FAR:
DID YOU KNOW?
As a general rule, contractors are ordinarily required to furnish all property necessary to perform Government contracts. A contractor’s inability or unwillingness to supply its own resources is not sufficient reason for the furnishing or acquisition of Government property. FAR 45.102.
DID YOU KNOW?
The Government retains title to all Government-furnished property until that property is properly disposed of, according to the applicable law or regulation. Property the Government has leased and then furnishes to a contractor for use is considered Government-furnished property under the clause at 52.245-1, Government Property. FAR 45.401.
DID YOU KNOW?
Inspection by the Government may be performed at any time (including any stage or manufacture or performance of service) or place (including subcontractor facilities) as may be necessary to determine that the supplies or services conform to contract requirements. FAR 46.401. See also FAR Inspection clauses, FAR 52.246-2(c) (fixed price), 52.246-3(c) (cost reimbursement), and 52.246-6(c) (time and materials/labor hour).
