Holders, in solicitations and contracts, including solicitations and 
contracts using Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 12 procedures 
for the acquisition of commercial products and commercial services, 
which are expected to exceed $1.5 million. This clause implements 10 
U.S.C. 4957 by requiring contractors to provide cooperative agreement 
holders, upon request, with a list of the contractor's employees or 
offices responsible for entering into subcontracts under DoD contracts. 
The contractor need not provide the listing to a particular cooperative 
agreement holder more frequently than once a year. Upon receipt of a 
contractor's list, the cooperative agreement holder, as part of the 
Procurement Technical Assistance Program, utilizes the information to 
identify and pursue contracting opportunities with DoD and expand the 
number of businesses capable of participating in Government contracts.
    DoD Clearance Officer: Ms. Angela Duncan. Requests for copies of 
the information collection proposal should be sent to Ms. Duncan at
