Raytheon TC-002 — Supplement 1: Government Contract Provisions from the FAR

Its 105 clauses can ask you for 195 things.

1. A program you have to be running20e.g. A system of internal controls that manages the Government property in your shop FAR 52.245-1(b)(1)

   You are either running it or you are not, and what the prime asks for is the date it started.

   • Reasonable procedures in place and in use to prevent and detect kickbacks in your own operations and in your direct business relationships

     FAR 52.203-7(c)(1)

   • An ethics awareness and training program, and an internal control system with a reporting channel such as a hotline that an employee can use anonymously

     Owed within 90 days of award, unless you represented yourself as a small business concern for this award or the contract is for a commercial product or commercial service — (c) opens by excluding both

     FAR 52.203-13(c)

   • A screening routine that takes a written disclosure of financial interests, outside employment and gifts from each employee assigned to the covered task, and updates it when their circumstances change

     Owed for covered employees — the people performing acquisition functions closely associated with inherently governmental functions

     FAR 52.203-16(b)(1)

   • The security program the operating manual at 32 CFR part 117 requires — a facility security officer, cleared people, storage, marking, transmission and reporting

     Owed when the same access (a) limits the clause to, and it follows any revision of the manual you are given notice of

     52.204-2(b)(1)

   • Scheduling that puts the rated order ahead of unrated work, and rated orders of your own placed on the suppliers of what it needs

     FAR 52.211-15

   • A listing practice, running for the life of the contract: every employment opening listed immediately with the appropriate employment service delivery system, and at least concurrently with any other recruitment source or effort you use

     41 CFR 60-300.5(a)(2) and (a)(3), which FAR 52.222-35(b) makes a term of your contract

   • E-Verify running inside hiring — a case opened for each new hire within three business days of the date of hire, starting within 90 calendar days of enrollment

     FAR 52.222-54(b)(1)(ii)

   • A private security operation run to 32 CFR part 159 — personnel registered and managed, weapons authorized and accounted for, armored vehicles registered, incidents reported

     FAR 52.225-26(c)(1)

   • Cost accounting that follows the disclosed practices consistently, applies any change prospectively, and complies with every standard in 48 CFR 9904

     FAR 52.230-2(a)(2) and (a)(3)

   • Cost accounting consistent with 48 CFR 9904.401, 9904.402, 9904.405 and 9904.406 — estimating matched to accumulation and reporting, no cost charged twice by two routes, unallowables handled, and one consistent accounting period

     FAR 52.230-3(a)(1)

   • Cost accounting consistent with 48 CFR 9904.401 and 9904.402 — estimating matched to accumulation and reporting, and no cost allocated twice for the same purpose

     FAR 52.230-4(a)(1)

   • Cost accounting that complies with every standard in 48 CFR 9905, the cost accounting standards written for educational institutions

     FAR 52.230-5(a)(3)

   • Work environments and procedures that safeguard the public, Government personnel and Government property exposed to the operation, avoid interrupting Government operations or delaying the project completion dates, and control the cost of performance

   • A declaration carrying the certification and disclosure at 52.203-11(c) and (d), obtained from each person requesting or receiving the subcontract and retained by whoever awards it

     Owed where the subcontract exceeds the threshold specified in FAR 3.808 on the date of subcontract award — the clause names no figure, and 3.808 sets it at $200,000 since 2025-10-01

     FAR 52.203-12(g)(1)

   • The agency or Homeland Security fraud hotline poster the contract names, printed by the agency that issues it and displayed in common work areas and at the work sites in the United States

   • A written disclosure from your proposed supplier saying whether it or its principals are debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment or voluntarily excluded

     Owed by the apparently successful offeror before award; missing it can make an offeror nonresponsible

     FAR 52.223-3(d)

   • Country-of-origin statements from the suppliers of those components, since the percentage rests on parts somebody else made — and the prime asking for them sets what is enough
