Subpart 1816.3—Cost-Reimbursement ContractsSubpart 1816.3—Cost-Reimbursement Contracts    **Parent topic:**  PART 1816—TYPES OF CONTRACTS1816.303-70 Cost-sharing contracts.       (a) *Cost-sharing with for-profit organizations.*          (1)  			Cost sharing by for-profit organizations is mandatory in any contract for basic or applied research resulting from an unsolicited proposal, and may be accepted in any other contract when offered by the proposing organization. The requirement for cost-sharing may be waived when the contracting officer determines in writing that the contractor has no commercial, production, education, or service activities that would benefit from the results of the research, and the contractor has no means of recovering its shared costs on such projects.          (2) The contractor's cost-sharing may be any percentage of the project cost. In determining the amount of cost-sharing, the contracting officer shall consider the relative benefits to the contractor and the Government. Factors that should be considered include—          (i) The potential for the contractor to recover its contribution from non-Federal sources;          (ii) The extent to which the particular area of research requires special stimulus in the national interest; and          (iii) The extent to which the research effort or result is likely to enhance the contractor's capability, expertise, or competitive advantage.          (b) *Cost-sharing with not-for-profit organizations.*          (1)  			Costs to perform research stemming from an unsolicited proposal by universities and other educational or not-for-profit institutions are usually fully reimbursed. When the contracting officer determines that there is a potential for significant benefit to the institution cost-sharing will be considered.          (2) The contracting officer will normally limit the institution's share to no more than 10 percent of the project's cost.          (c) *Implementation.* Cost-sharing shall be stated as a minimum percentage of the total allowable costs of the project. The contractor's contributed costs may not be charged to the Government under any other contract or grant, including allocation to other contracts and grants as part of an independent research and development program.1816.307 Contract clauses. (NASA supplements paragraphs (a), (b), (d), and (g)).       (a)          (1)  			In paragraph (h)(2)(ii)(B) of the Allowable Cost and Payment clause at FAR 52.216–7, the period of years may be increased to correspond with any statutory period of limitation applicable to claims of third parties against the contractor; provided, that a corresponding increase is made in the period for retention of records required in paragraph (f) of the clause at FAR 52.215–2, Audit and Records—Negotiation.1816.307-70 NASA contract clauses.       (a) The contracting officer shall insert the clause at 1852.216–73, Estimated Cost and Cost Sharing, in each contract in which costs are shared by the contractor pursuant to 1816.303–70.          (b) The contracting officer shall insert the clause substantially as stated at 1852.216–74, Estimated Cost and Fixed Fee, in cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts.          (c) The contracting officer may insert the clause at 1852.216–75, Payment of Fixed Fee, in cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts.          (d) The contracting officer may insert the clause at 1852.216–81, Estimated Cost, in cost-no-fee contracts that are not cost sharing or facilities contracts.          (e) [Reserved]          (f) When FAR clause 52.216–7, Allowable Cost and Payment, is included in the contract, as prescribed at FAR 16.307(a), the contracting officer should include the clause at 1852.216–89, Assignment and Release Forms.          (g) As required by section 827 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Pub. L. 112–239), use the clause at 1852.216–90, Allowability of Costs Incurred in Connection With a Whistleblower Proceeding—          (1) In task orders entered pursuant to contracts awarded before September 30, 2013, that include the clause at FAR 52.216–7, Allowable Cost and Payment; and          (2) In contracts awarded before September 30, 2013, that—          (i) Include the clause at FAR 52.216–7, Allowable Cost and Payment; and          (ii) Are modified to include the clause at 1852.203–71, Requirement to Inform Employees of Whistleblower Rights, dated June 2013 or later.
