  Technology transfer is an unavoidable task for accelerator/storage ring construction projects. For sub systems that consist of many complex, identical pieces, in house fabrication is not an option as it was in the past, and so industrial procurement is required. If industry has not developed the requisite technology in support of an active market product, technology transfer must be accomplished. An underlying assumption is that the project or national laboratory R&D has fully developed the necessary technology and that industrial expertise in mass production is required. The talk will review the circumstances when technology transfer is appropriate, and based on a review of large system procurements for Fermilab, SLAC, the SSC, SNS, the LHC and RHIC, it will outline general guidelines that have emerged for what is required of project managers and industrial vendors to increase the probability of successful technology transfer and procurement. The guidelines are generally not dependent on specific national acquisition regulations, and therefore are relevant for international projects.
