DFARS 252.227-7017 Identification and Assertion of Use, Release, or Disclosure Restrictions

Does the regulation require it to flow down?

No

(c) requires the offeror to submit 'the assertions of its subcontractors or suppliers or potential subcontractors or suppliers' along with its own — the prime passes the form along because without the sub's assertions the attachment can't be completed; whether clauses 7013/7014 formally mandate its use with subs (unconfirmed)

A clause can reach your subcontract without a mandate. Once it is in your document, it is a contract term all the same. The missing mandate is a fact about the regulation. It is not a ruling on your order.

What it makes you produce

One item for your checklist.

  1. Something you fill in and send back

    Hours, once you know which one is missing.

    • The assertions table, signed by someone who can bind the company: what will be delivered with restrictions, the basis for each, the rights category asserted and who is asserting it — your suppliers' assertions as well as your own

      Owed when the contract will require delivery of technical data or software with less than unlimited rights, to the extent known when the offer goes in

      252.227-7017(d)

When it is used

A SOLICITATION provision (not a contract clause): comes in when the contract will require delivery of technical data or software with less than unlimited rights (prescriptions 227.7103-3(b), 227.7104-4(b)(2), or 227.7203-3(a)); no dollar threshold.

Read closely

An offer that arrives without that table completed and signed can be ruled ineligible for award. Restrictions based only on copyright are outside it, and assertions accepted at award become part of the resulting contract. Collecting the suppliers' half is the schedule risk, not filling in the form.

This is research, not legal advice. It states what the regulation says about this clause and cites the paragraph behind it. It does not rule on your order, and it does not rule on whether a prime's markings are correct.
