Contract Type FiledAugust 17th, 2007The Joint Project Authority (JPA), 15 U.S.C. '1525 (second paragraph), permits DOC operating units to enter into projects with nonprofit, research or public organizations (such as state and local governments) if the project is of mutual interest to the parties and the costs of the project are apportioned equitably. It is DOC policy that joint projects may be undertaken only if the project cannot be done at all or as effectively without the participation of the other party and the project is essential to further a DOC’s program. It may be possible to obtain a waiver from the provision that the costs of the project be equitably apportioned; contact the Office of the Assistant General Counsel for Administration for assistance regarding waivers under the JPA.
