This approach may be useful, for example, if a commercial firm that is a participant will not accept an agreement with all of the post-award requirements of an expenditure-based award. Before using a fixed-support arrangement for that firm's portion of the project, you must judge that it meets the criteria in § 37.305.","path":["Title 32—National Defense","Subtitle A—Department of Defense","CHAPTER I—OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE","SUBCHAPTER C—DoD GRANT AND AGREEMENT REGULATIONS","PART 37—TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENT AGREEMENTS","Subpart E—Pre-Award Business Evaluation"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-32.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:25:30Z","sha256":"66a3c11a49e1ebaaa05a55521951586e4f3362a065290646366b36a2022ca11e","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/32-cfr-37.560","next":"us/32-cfr-37.570"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
