# 52.227-16 Additional Data Requirements.
Type: Clause
Prescribed in: 27.409(d)
Current version date: JUN 1987

## Prescription and Applicability

### FAR Prescription, 27.409(d)

(d) Insert the clause at 52.227-16, Additional Data Requirements, in solicitations and contracts involving experimental, developmental, research, or demonstration work (other than basic or applied research to be performed solely by a university or college where the contract amount will be $500,000 or less) unless all the requirements for data are believed to be known at the time of contracting and specified in the contract (see 27.406-2). This clause may also be used in other contracts when considered appropriate. For example, if the contract is for basic or applied research to be performed by a university or college, and the contracting officer believes the contract effort will in the future exceed $500,000, even though the initial award does not, the contracting officer may include the clause in the initial award.

Additional Data Requirements (JUN 1987)
