DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

48 CFR Parts 204 and 253


Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement; Uniform 
Procurement Instrument Identification Numbers

AGENCY: Department of Defense (DoD).

ACTION: Withdrawal of proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The proposed rule, published August 18, 1994, (59 FR 42566), 
is hereby withdrawn. The rule proposed revisions to the Defense Federal 
Acquisition Regulation Supplement to revise the numbering system for 
identifying Department of Defense (DoD) orders placed against another 
DoD activity's contracts and to replace the DoD activity address 
numbers with DoD activity address codes. This action to withdraw the 
rule is based upon public comments which indicated that changes to 
automated systems cannot easily be accommodated in the near term.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ms. Linda S. Holcombe, (703) 604-5929, FAX No. (703) 604-5971.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For information and planning purposes, a 
proposed revision to the DFARS uniform procurement instrument 
identification numbering system was included as Attachment 1 to the 
Defense Acquisition Circular 91-1. A proposed rule was subsequently 
published August 18, 1994 (59 FR 42566) under DFARS Case 92-D044. After 
a review of the public comments, a decision has been made to withdraw 
the proposed rule for the present. While it is necessary to expand the 
contract numbering system to accommodate the need for more DoD activity 
identifiers, public comments indicated that changes to automated 
systems are not economically feasible at this time. However, both 
industry and government should ensure that these proposed revisions can 
be accommodated in any future automated systems.

Deputy Director, Defense Acquisition Regulations Council.
