Technical Assistance at
Links and Resources
Description
- Technical Assistance is provided on a non-exclusive basis to assist United States firms. It is more than just testing. Technical Assistance includes studies, evaluations, designs, computer and physical modeling and testing, and other engineering and scientific functions.
Features/Characteristics
- The firm must certify that assistance is not otherwise reasonably and expeditiously available from a private sector source and must agree to hold and save the U.S. free from any damages due to any such R&D assistance. Work may not be initiated prior to receipt of funds sufficient to cover the cost of the estimate or at least an initial increment based upon an approved payment schedule that ensures funds are deposited prior to work being performed.
