Frequently asked questions

Can I use this template for an agreement involving classified information?

Yes, the template includes a section for data classification and safeguarding requirements. However, you must ensure compliance with specific agency security policies and any applicable intelligence community directives.

What is the Economy Act and when is it used?

The Economy Act (31 U.S.C. § 1535) allows federal agencies to order goods and services from another agency when it is in the best interest of the government. It is a common authority for interagency agreements when the work is not covered by other specific statutes.

Is this template a substitute for legal review?

No. This is a professional drafting tool that provides a solid starting point. You should have the final agreement reviewed by your agency's general counsel or legal office to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
