What the source says changed

No official source in the set states what changed in the text; the number and title are as listed.

Why this disposition

252.227-7018 is absent from every DoD RFO deviation attachment; the DFARS Part 227 deviation prescribes 252.227-7993 with the identical title "Rights in Other Than Commercial Technical Data and Computer Software-Small Business Innovation Research Program and Small Business Technology Transfer Program". No official table states the mapping, so it rests on title identity.

Confidence: medium. Read from official text by an identical title; no official table states this mapping.
