flowdown clauses

Flowdown clauses are those parts of a contract where requirements from a higher-tier agreement trickle down to subcontractors or suppliers. They ensure everyone in the chain follows the same rules, like specific quality standards or deadlines. It's common in government or big construction projects, where a prime contractor passes responsibilities to subs. If you're signing one, watch for terms that might be tough to meet further down the line.
