Common use of Technology Objectives Clause in Contracts

Technology Objectives. The Government shall provide the information necessary for the MTEC Consortium Manager to issue Requests for Project Proposals. Notice of these Requests for Project Proposals may be advertised to industry via FEDBIZOPPS. The CM shall make Requests for Project Proposals available to MTEC Members. MTEC Members will then decide whether to submit a Research Project Proposal in response and, if so, will prepare their individual proposal(s). These MTEC Member proposals will be submitted to the MTEC CM. The CM will review the proposals for completeness and conformity with format requirements laid out in the Request for Project Proposals and transmit all proposals to the Government. The CM will conduct an evaluation of the cost proposal submitted by the MTEC member, and provide a summary of the cost reasonableness determination to the Government to be used in the Government’s determination in making the award. The CM will maintain a website capable of sharing pre-award documentation with the government. Documentation includes but is not limited to pre-announcements, Requests for Project Proposal, proposals, whitepapers, and proposal evaluations. The Government shall be responsible for evaluation and selection of proposals for project funding from among the proposals submitted. Once it receives notification of selection of a project for funding through a Project Approval Letter (PAL) and funding through an OTA Task Order, the MTEC CM will enter into a Research Project Award with the MTEC Member entity whose proposal was selected by the Government. The MTEC CM shall execute and administer the Research Project Award, and the Government’s designated Sponsor’s Office Technical Representative (SOTR) will monitor the technical work performed by the Research Project Awardee. The essential core capabilities of the Consortium include research and prototyping, capitalization of private sector technology opportunities, technology transfer, and commercialization of Government IP, including follow-on production as authorized under 10 USC 2371. In consideration of the foregoing, the MTEC CM and Base Agreement Awardee agree to the mutual covenants and promises contained in this Agreement.
