(5) Contracting officers shall list separately in the contract any property provided under a FAR 52.245 Government property clause that remains accountable to the contractor during its use on the contract (such as property used at the contractor's or a subcontractor’s off-site facility) and which is not also subject to the clause at 1852.245-71. The contracting officer shall address any specific maintenance considerations (e.g., requiring or precluding use of an installation calibration or repair facility) elsewhere in the contract.
(6) See 1845.106-70(e).

The contracting officer shall not require additional insurance under the clause unless the circumstances clearly indicate advantages to the Government.
(d) The contracting officer shall insert the clause at
1852.245-73, Financial Reporting of NASA Property in the Custody of Contractors, in cost reimbursement contracts unless all property to be provided is subject to the clause at 1852.245-71, Installation-Accountable Government Property.

The contracting officer’s written request for approval shall include a determination of costs that will be (1) avoided (e.g., additional costs to the installation's property management systems and staffing) and (2) incurred (e.g., reimbursable costs of the contractor to implement, staff, and operate separate property management systems on-site, and resources needed for performance of, or reimbursement for, property administration) under contractor accountability.
