DoD is issuing a final rule to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to remove the requirement at DFARS 231.205-18(c)(iii)(C)(4) for contractors to conduct a technical interchange with a DoD Government employee before independent research and development (IR&D) costs are generated for IR&D projects initiated in fiscal year 2017 or later, as a prerequisite for those costs to be determined allowable.  This rule is expected to decrease costs for contractors and offerors.
