                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION
 
PART 45--GOVERNMENT PROPERTY--Table of Contents
 
  Subpart 45.5--Management of Government Property in the Possession of 
                               Contractors
 
45.507  Segregation of Government property.

    Government property shall be kept physically separate from 
contractor-owned property. However, when advantageous to the Government 
and consistent with the contractor's authority to use such property, the 
property may be commingled--
    (a) When the Government property is special tooling, special test 
equipment, or plant equipment clearly identified and recorded as 
Government property;
    (b) When approved by the property administrator in connection with 
research and development contracts;
    (c) When material is included in a multicontract cost and material 
control system (however, see 45.505-3(f));
    (d) When (1) scrap of a uniform nature is produced from both 
Government-owned and contractor-owned material and physical segregation 
is impracticable, (2) scrap produced from Government-owned material is 
insignificant in consideration of the cost of segregation and control, 
or (3) Government contracts involved are fixed-price and provide for the 
retention of the scrap by the contractor; or
    (e) When otherwise approved by the property administrator.
