# §37.1005. What are my general responsibilities concerning the award document?


You are responsible for ensuring that the award document is complete and accurate. Your objective is to create a document that:

- (a) Addresses all issues;
- (b) **States requirements directly.** It is not helpful to readers to incorporate statutes or rules by reference, without sufficient explanation of the requirements. You generally should not incorporate clauses from the Federal Acquisition Regulation ([48 CFR parts 1-53](/cfr/48/part1-53.md)) or Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement ([48 CFR parts 201-253](/cfr/48/part201-253.md)), because those provisions are designed for procurement contracts that are used to acquire goods and services, rather than for TIAs or other assistance instruments.
- (c) **Is written in clear and concise language, to minimize potential ambiguity.**
