Analysts: Contractor Control Over IR&D May Decline

Washington, D.C.-based Government Contracts Group partner, Stephen J. McBrady, is quoted in Bloomberg BNA discussing the recent white paper issued by the Department of Defense (DOD) on independent research and development (IR&D) projects. The proposed white paper may cause contractors to face challenges in receiving reimbursements for their project. "The federal government could decline to reimburse IR&D costs if the contractor doesn't review the project with the appropriate DOD staffer," McBrady said.
