those to be subcontracted;

review and approval of the make-or-buy programs; and
    (iii) Prescribes the contract clause at FAR 52.215-21, Changes or 
Additions to Make-or-Buy Programs, which specifies the circumstances 
under which the contractor is required to submit for the contracting 
officer's advance approval a notification and justification of any 
proposed change in the approved make-or-buy program.
    The information is used to assure the lowest overall cost to the 
Government for required supplies and services.
