DFARS Deviation Removes “Technical Interchange” Requirement for IR&D Cost Allowability

This deviation is “effective until it is incorporated in the DFARS” or otherwise rescinded. While it is certainly good news for contractors, it does not impact the portion of the rule requiring contractors to report at least annually IR&D projects to DTIC as a condition of allowability
