SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
This Defense Acquisition Circular (DAC) 91-10 includes 17 rules and
miscellaneous editorial amendments. Three of the rules in the DAC
(Items VII, X, and XVII) were published previously in the Federal
Register (61 FR 130, January 3, 1996; 61 FR 3600, February 1, 1996; and
February 26, 1996; respectively) and thus are not included as part of
this rulemaking notice. These three rules are being published in the
DAC to conform the loose-leaf edition of DFARS to the previously
published revisions.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
DAC 91-10, Items IV, XII, XIII, XIV, XV, and XVI
The Regulatory Flexibility Act does not apply because these rules
are not significant revisions within the meaning of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. However, comments from small
entities will be considered in accordance with Section 610 of the Act.
Please cite the applicable DFARS case number in correspondence.
DAC 91-10, Items I, III, V, VIII, IX, and XI
DoD certifies that these rules will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act because:
Item I--The rule primarily (1) pertains to internal Government
considerations regarding use of warranties; and (2) consolidates and
standardizes existing regulatory requirements pertaining to
undefinitized contract actions.
Item III--Contracts awarded to small entities normally are not
subject to program or overhead should-cost reviews.
Item V--The rule merely provides a standard method of implementing
security requirements which already exist under DoD 5100.76-M.
Item VIII--The rule retains the policy of acquiring tank and
automotive forging items from domestic sources to the maximum extent
practicable. The new exception only applies to forging items purchased
as tank and automotive spare parts, when the end use of the spare parts
is unknown.
Item IX--The rule merely clarifies the scope of offset
administrative costs that
[[Page 7740]]
contractors may recover under foreign military sales contracts. Also,
most companies involved in offset arrangements are not small
businesses.
Item XI--The reduction in the customary progress payment rate only
applies to large businesses. While the rule also precludes the use of
flexible progress payments for contracts resulting from solicitations
issued on or after November 30, 1993, this change is not expected to
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities, because the customary progress payment rates for small and
small disadvantaged businesses generally are more favorable than a
flexible progress payment rate with its associated terms and
conditions.
DAC 91-10, Items II and VI
The Regulatory Flexibility Act applies. A final regulatory analysis
has been performed and is available by writing the Defense Acquisition
Regulations Council, OUSD(A&T)DP(DAR), 3062 Defense Pentagon,
Washington, DC 20301-3062
C. Paperwork Reduction Act
DAC 91-10, Items I, II, III, IV, VI, VIII, IX, XI, XII, XIII, XIV, XV,
and XVI
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because these rules do
not impose any information collection requirements which require the
approval of OMB under 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
DAC 91-10, Item V
The Paperwork Reduction Act applies. OMB has approved the
information collection requirement under OMB Control Number 0704-0385.
Michele P. Peterson,
Executive Editor, Defense Acquisition Regulations Council.
Defense Acquisition Circular (DAC) 91-10 amends the Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 1991 edition. The amendments
are summarized as follows:
Item I--Contract Award (DFARS Case 95-D702)
This final rule (1) amends DFARS Parts 216 and 217 to implement
Section 1505 of Pub. L. 103-355 and to clarify guidance on
undefinitized contract actions (UCAs); (2) amends the guidance on
warranties at 246.770 to implement Section 2402 of Pub. L. 103-355; and
(3) adds a new clause on definitization of UCAs at 252.217-7027. The
new clause is similar to, and will be used instead of, the clause as
FAR 52.216-25, Contract Definitization, which was designed for use in
letter contracts only.
Item II--Institutions of Higher Education (DFARS Case 94-D310)
The interim rule published as Item IX of DAC91-9 is revised and
finalized. The rule implements Section 558 of the Fiscal Year 1995
Defense Authorization Act (Pub. L. 103-337). Section 558 provides that
no funds available to DoD may be provided by grant or contract to any
institution of higher education that has a policy of denying, or which
effectively prevents the Secretary of Defense from obtaining for
military recruiting purposes, entry to campuses, access to students on
campuses, or access to directory information pertaining to students.
The final rule differs from the interim rule in that it makes
clarifying revisions at 209.470-1 and 252.209-7005, and adds language
at 209.470-1(c) to state that, when specific subordinate elements of an
institution of higher education, rather than the institution as a
whole, have a prohibited policy or practice, the prohibition on use of
DoD funds applies only to those subordinate elements.
Item III--Overhead Should Cost Reviews (DFARS Case 92-D010
This final rule revises DFARS 215.810 to specify when DoD
activities should consider performing an overhead should cost review of
a contractor business unit. This DFARS rule supplements the FAR rule
published as Item VIII of Federal Acquisition Circular 90-37 on January
26, 1996. Both the FAR and the DFARS rules become effective on March
26, 1996.
Item IV--Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee Contracts for Military Construction (DFARS
Case 95-D024)
This final rule adds new sections at DFARS 216.306 and 232.703-70
and revises 236.271 to expand guidance on statutory restrictions
pertaining to the use of cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts for military
construction.
Item V--Safeguarding Sensitive Conventional Arms, Ammunition, and
Explosives (DFARS Case 95-D001)
This final rule adds a new subpart at DFARS 223.72 and a new
contract clause at 252.223-7007 to provide guidance on physical
security requirements for contracts involving sensitive conventional
arms, ammunition, and explosives. Section 204.202 is amended to specify
additional requirements for distribution of contracts containing the
clause at 252.223-7007.
Item VI--Applicability of Trade Agreements (DFARS Case 95-D022)
This final rule amends DFARS 225.402 to provide that the value of
an acquisition for purposes of determining the applicability of both
the North American Free Trade Agreement Act and the Trade Agreements
Act is the total value of all end products subject to the acts.
Item VII--Uruguay Round (1996 Agreement) (DFARS Case 95-D306)
This final rule was issued by Departmental Letter 95-019, effective
January 1, 1996. The rule amends DFARS 225.402 and the clause at
252.225-7007 to implement the DoD-unique requirements of the
renegotiated General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) Government
Procurement Agreement (1996 Code) (Uruguay Round), which became
effective January 1, 1996. This agreement is implemented in statute by
the Uruguay Round Agreement Act, Pub. L. 103-465, which amends the
Trade Agreements Act of 1979.
Item VIII--Tank and Automotive Forging Items (DFARS Case 95-D003)
This final rule amends DFARS Subpart 225.71 to add an exception to
the foreign source restrictions on the acquisition of forgings. The
rule excludes forging purchases as tank and automotive spare parts from
foreign source restrictions, except when it is known that the parts are
for use in tanks only.
Item IX--Offset Implementation Costs (DFARS Case 95-D019)
This final rule amends DFARS 225.7303-2 to clarify that, under a
foreign military sales contract, a contractor may recover costs
incurred to implement its offset agreement with a foreign government or
international organization, if the foreign military sale Letter of
Offer and Acceptance is financed wholly with customer cash or repayable
foreign military finance credits.
Item X--Alternatives to Miller Act Bonds (DFARS Case 95-D305)
This interim rule was issued by Departmental Letter 96-001,
effective February 1, 1996. The rule revises the interim rule which was
published as Item XXIII of DAC 91-9 to provide alternative payment
protections for construction contracts between $25,000 and $100,000,
pending implementation of Section 4104(b)(2) of the Federal Acquisition
Streamlining Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-355) in the FAR. This interim
rule amends the guidance at
[[Page 7741]]
DFARS 228.171 to require the contracting officer to specify two or more
alternative payment protections when using the clause at 252.228-7007,
and to give particular consideration to use of an irrevocable letter of
credit as one of the specified alternatives. This rule also amends the
clause at 252.228-7007 to exclude payment bonds from the payment
protections under which the contracting officer may access funds.
Item XI--Reduction in Progress Payment Rates (DFARS Case 93-D305)
The interim rule published as Item XXVII of DAC 91-6 is revised and
finalized. The rule implements Section 8155 of the Fiscal Year 1994
Defense Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 103-139). Section 8155 requires DoD
to reduce the customary progress payment rate for large business
concerns from 85 percent to 75 percent for contracts resulting from
solicitations issued on or after November 11, 1993. The final rule
differs from the interim rule in that it makes an editorial change in
the table at 232.502-1-71, and amends the clause at 252.232-7004 to
state that the 75 percent customary progress payment rate for large
business concerns also applies to progress payments made under
undefinitized contract actions.
Item XII--Streamlined Research and Development (R&D) Update (DFARS Case
95-D036)
This final rule amends DFARS Subpart 235.70 to update
administrative information pertaining to the streamlined R&D
contracting test program, and to revise the list of clauses in the
streamlined R&D contracting format to conform to FAR and DFARS
revisions which occurred since initiation of the test program.
Item XIII--Performance Evaluations for Construction and Architect-
Engineer Contracts (DFARS Case 95-D034)
This final rule amends DFARS 236.201 and 236.604 to prescribe use
of DD Forms 2626 and 2631 in lieu of Standard Forms 1420 and 1421,
respectively. The forms are used to document contractor performance
under construction and architect-engineer contracts. Copies of DD Forms
2626 and 2631 are added to Subpart 253.3.
Item XIV--Magnitude of Construction Projects (DFARS Case 95-D031)
This final rule adds a new section at DFARS 236.204 to provide
additional price ranges for identifying the magnitude of construction
projects in advance notices and solicitations.
Item XV--Flexible Contract Administration Services (DFARS Case 95-
D030)
This final rule amends DFARS 242.203 to expand the conditions under
which the Defense Contract Management Command may perform contract
administration services on a military installation.
Item XVI--Military Assistance Program Address (MAPAD) Codes (DFARS Case
95-D032)
This final rule amends DFARS 253./213-70 to clarify instructions
for inclusion of foreign military sale shipment information in Block 14
of DD Form 1155.
Item XVII--Allowability of Costs (DFARS Case 95-D309)
This interim rule was issued by Departmental Letter 96-002,
effective February 26, 1996. The rule adds language at DFARS 231.205-6
to implememt Section 8122 of the Fiscal Year 1996 Defense
Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 104-61). Section 8122 prohibits DoD from
using fiscal year 1996 funds to reimburse a contractor for costs paid
by the contractor to an employee for a bonus or other payment in excess
of the normal salary paid to the employee, when such payment is part of
restructuring costs associated with a business combination.
Item XVIII--Small Disadvantaged Business Utilization Program
(Information Item)
On October 23, 1995, the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition
and Technology suspended those sections of the DFARS which prescribe
set-aside of acquisitions for small disadvantaged businesses. This
suspension takes account of the Supreme Court's decision in Adarand
Constructors, Inc. v. Pena, 63 U.S.L.W. 4523 (U.S. June 12, 1995),
while an interagency Government-wide review of affirmative action
programs is conducted. The suspended DFARS sections are 219.501(S-70),
219.502-2-70, 219.502-4, 219.504(b)(i), 219.506, 219.508(e), 219.508-
70, and 252.219-7002. Although these sections, and references thereto,
still appear in the DFARS text, use of these sections is suspended
until further notice.
Item XIX--Editorial Revisions
(a) DFARS 202.101 and Appendix G are amended to update activity
names and addresses.
(b) DFARS Part 213 is amended to update statutory references and to
conform to revisions to FAR Part 13 published in Federal Acquisition
Circular 90-29.
(c) DFARS 228.106-4, 228.106-4-70, 228.106-6, and 252.228-7006 are
deleted. The guidance in these sections has been superseded by the
guidance in FAR 28.106-4(b), 28.106-6(d), and 52.228-12, published in
Federal Acquisition Circular 90-32.
(d) DFARS Part 253 is amended to update DD Forms 375, 375c, 428,
1659, 2222, 2222-2, and 2604. (This amendment is being made only in the
loose-leaf edition of the DFARS.)

analysis.
(b)(i) The Defense Contract Management Command/Defense Logistics
Agency (DCMC/DLA), or the military department responsible for
performing contract administration functions (e.g., Navy SUPSHIP),
should consider, based on risk assessment, performing an overhead
should-cost review of a contractor business unit (as defined in FAR
31.001) when all of the following conditions exist:

reviews generally involve participation by the contracting, contract
administration, and contract audit elements. The extent of availability
of military department, contract administration, and contract audit
resources to support DCMC/DLA-led teams should be considered when
determining whether a review will be conducted. Overhead should-cost
reviews generally shall not be conducted at a contractor business
segment more frequently than every three years.

respectively. The revision reads as follows:
242.203 Retention of contract administration.
(a)(i) * * *
(ii) Contract administration functions for base, post, camp, and
station contracts on a military installation are normally the
responsibility of the installation or tenant commander. However, the

military department, and subject to prior agreement, perform contract
administration services on a military installation.
* * * * *
PART 246--QUALITY ASSURANCE
41. Section 246.770-2 is amended by redesignating paragraphs (b)
and (c) as paragraphs (c) and (d) respectively; by adding a new
paragraph (b); and by revising the newly designated paragraph (c) to
read as follows:
246.770-2 Policy.
(a) * * *
(b) Contracting officers and program managers shall consider the
following when developing and negotiating weapon system warranty
provisions:
(1) Warranties may not be appropriate in all situations, and a
waiver should be sought if a warranty would not be cost-effective or
would otherwise be inconsistent with the national defense. In drafting
warranty provisions, the drafters must ensure they understand the
planned operational, maintenance, and supply concepts of the weapon
system to be fielded, and must structure a warranty that matches those
concepts. A warranty plan should be prepared in consonance with
development of the warranty provision early in the weapon system's life
cycle. The plan should contain program warranty strategy, terms of the
warranty, administration and enforcement requirements, and should be
coordinated with the user and support activities.
(2) A cost/benefit analysis must be accomplished in support of each
warranty (see 246.770-7). The cost/benefit analysis compares all costs
associated with the warranty to the expected benefits. An estimate
shall be made of the likelihood of defects and the estimated cost of
correcting such defects. Also, if substantive changes are required to
the planned operational, maintenance, or supply concepts, any increased
costs should be weighed against the expected benefits in deciding
whether a warranty is cost-effective.
(3) The Warranty Guidebook prepared by the Defense Systems
Management College, Fort Belvoir, VA 22060-5426, is a valuable
reference that can assist in the development, negotiation, and
administration of an effective weapon system warranty.
(c) Contracting officers may require warranties that provide
greater coverage and remedies than specified in paragraph (a) of this
subsection.
* * * * *
[[Page 7750]]
42. Section 246.770-8 is amended by revising the introductory text
of paragraph (a); by removing paragraph (b)(2); by redesignating
paragraph (b)(3) as paragraph (b)(2), and by revising the introductory
text of paragraphs (c) and (c)(2). The revised text reads as follows:
246.770-8 Waiver and notification procedures.
(a) The Secretary of Defense has delegated waiver authority within
the limits specified in 10 U.S.C. 2403. The waiving authority for the
defense agencies is the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and
Technology). Submit defense agency waiver requests to the Director,
Defense Procurement, for processing. The waiving authority for the
military departments is the Secretary of the department with authority
to redelegate no lower than an Assistant Secretary. The waiving
authority may waive one or more of the weapon system warranties
required by 246.770-2 if--
