  "bluf": "Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 45 governs Government property in the contractor's possession including Government-furnished property (GFP) provided to the contractor and contractor-acquired property (CAP) titled to the Government: Subpart 45.1 (General) provides definitions and establishes the policy at 45.102 that contracting officers shall provide Government property only when clearly demonstrated to be in the Government's best interest and the overall benefit significantly outweighs increased administration cost; 45.103 requires contractors to use Government property already in their possession to the maximum extent practical and eliminate competitive advantage; 45.104 establishes that contractors are generally not liable for loss of Government property under cost-reimbursement, time-and-materials, or labor-hour contracts unless the contracting officer revokes the assumption of risk due to non-compliant property management practices; 45.106 governs transferring accountability between contracts requiring firm requirements and documentation; 45.107 prescribes the mandatory clause FAR 52.245-1 (Government Property) inserted in solicitations involving GFP or CAP; Subpart 45.2 governs solicitation and contract requirements including item descriptions, quantities, unit acquisition costs, and as-is condition disclosure; the contractor's property management system must be compliant under voluntary consensus standards (typically ASTM E2132 or similar) and is subject to property management system reviews. The clause flows down to subcontractors and applies through contract closeout.",
