What it makes you produce

One item for your checklist.

  1. Something you write

    Days to weeks, and nobody outside your company has to agree to it.

    • A prompt report to the administrative contracting officer of all pertinent facts

      Owed on any mishap involving an aircraft, missile or space launch vehicle being manufactured, modified, repaired or overhauled under this contract

      DFARS 252.228-7005(a)

When it is used

Prescribed at 228.371(d): contracts involving the manufacture, modification, overhaul, or repair of aircraft, missiles, and space launch vehicles. No dollar threshold. Flows down via (c) as a cooperation clause in subcontracts.

Read closely

(b) adds cooperation and assistance until any Government investigation of the mishap is complete, which in practice means preserving what is left of the article and the records around it from the first hour. (c) asks for a cooperation clause in subcontracts rather than this clause word for word.

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.
