Thank you for your explanation and help.

It is my understanding that FAR provisions specified in the RFP which contain mandatory flowdown provisions must be included in any subcontracts we enter into as Prime. However, I have been told that there are additional “required” FAR provisions that must be included in the subcontract even if there is no flowdown provision or if nothing is specified in the RFP concerning applicability to the subcontract. I don’t read the FAR that way: I think that if there is no required flowdown in a particular FAR clause, then inclusion of the FAR provision in the subcontract would be at our discretion (as suggested in the ABA’s Guide to Service Subcontracts Terms and Conditions, 2008). Is my reading of the FAR correct or am I missing something? Thank you in advance for any assistance/advice.
