Question/Comment

Are the flow-down FAR clauses set forth under 52.212-5(e) apply to the researchers participating in the bug bounty research project?

[MichelleMcNellis]

If the security researchers are not under a subcontract with the platform provider for purposes of this acquisition, then the clause does not flow down.
