48 CFR §27.202-2

1. (a)When the Government is obligated to pay a royalty on a patent because of an existing license agreement and the contracting officer believes that the licensed patent will be applicable to a prospective contract, the Government should furnish the prospective offerors with—
   1. (1)Notice of the license;
   2. (2)The number of the patent; and
   3. (3)The royalty rate cited in the license.
2. (b)When the Government is obligated to pay such a royalty, the solicitation should also require offerors to furnish information indicating whether or not each offeror is the patent owner or a licensee under the patent. This information is necessary so that the Government may either—
   1. (1)Evaluate an offeror's price by adding an amount equal to the royalty; or
   2. (2)Negotiate a price reduction with an offeror when the offeror is licensed under the same patent at a lower royalty rate.
