SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    DoD, GSA, and NASA published a proposed rule at 85 FR 65610 on 
October 15, 2020, to amend the FAR definition of ``commercial item'' to 
implement section 836 of the John S. McCain National Defense 
Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 (Pub. L. 115-232). 
Section 836 separates the definition of ``commercial item'' at 41 
U.S.C. 103 into the definitions of ``commercial product'' and 
``commercial service,'' at 41 U.S.C. 103 and 103a.
    Splitting the definition of ``commercial item'' into the 
definitions of ``commercial product'' and ``commercial service'' was a 
recommendation made by the independent panel created by section 809 of 
the NDAA for FY 2016 (Pub. L. 114-92). The panel was created to review 
and improve the functioning of the defense acquisition system and 
eliminate any regulations found unnecessary to achieve such 
improvements. The panel recommended the splitting of the definition of 
``commercial item'' to better ``reflect the significant roles services 
and commercial services play today in the DoD procurement budget.'' See 
recommendation on pages 29 to 30 of Volume 1 of 3 dated January 2018 of 
the Report of the Advisory Panel on Streamlining and Codifying 
Acquisition Regulations, available at https://section809panel.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Sec809Panel_Vol1-Report_Jan18_REVISED_2018-03-14.pdf.
    The change in this final rule resolves the issue the Section 809 
Panel cites, which is that the ``acquisition workforce has faced issues 
with inconsistent interpretations of policy, confusion over how to 
identify eligible commercial products and services''. Bifurcating the 
definition of ``commercial item'' into ``commercial product'' and 
``commercial service'' is a way to provide clarity for the acquisition 
workforce, which may result in greater engagement with the commercial 
marketplace.
    It is important to note that the amendment to separate ``commercial 
item'' into ``commercial product'' and ``commercial service'' does not 
expand or shrink the universe of products or services the Government 
may procure using FAR part 12, nor does it change the terms and 
conditions with which contractors must comply.
    The following summarizes the changes made to the FAR:
    1. Removed from FAR part 2 the definition of ``commercial item'' 
and replaced it with the definitions of ``commercial product'' and 
``commercial service'' in accordance with the NDAA with only minor 
revisions for clarification to align with that which is currently in 
the FAR. The clarification in paragraph 3(ii) of the definition of 
``commercial product'' has been in FAR part 2 since the definition of 
``commercial item'' was incorporated by FAR case 94-790, Acquisition of 
Commercial Items, in 1995. Paragraphs 2(i) and 2(ii) of the definition 
of ``commercial service'' are also long standing; they stem from a FAR 
change published October 22, 2001, which was revised slightly in a FAR 
change published June 18, 2004.
    2. Replaced all instances of ``non-commercial'' and 
``noncommercial'' with ``other than commercial'' as it relates to this 
rule. This editorial change provides consistent language throughout the 
FAR.
    3. Removed FAR 12.102(g), and a corresponding reference at FAR 
37.601(c), as obsolete. FAR 12.102(g) only applied to contracts or 
orders entered into before November 23, 2013.
    4. Added the definition of ``established price'' at FAR 16.001 to 
be consistent with the term as defined at the FAR clauses at FAR 
52.216-2, Economic Price Adjustment--Standard Supplies, and 52.216-3, 
Economic Price Adjustment--Semistandard Supplies. This is an editorial 
change for consistency to have the definition in both the clause and 
the corresponding FAR part.
    5. Made conforming changes to cross references, and the following 
Standard Forms (SF): SF 294, Subcontracting Report for Individual 
Contracts; SF 1443, Contractor's Request for Progress Payment; and SF 
1449, Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial Products and 
Commercial Services. Also, minor editorial changes were made as needed 
throughout the FAR. These revisions do not impact terms and conditions 
of commercial contracts or how the Government procures commercial 
products or commercial services.
    Three respondents submitted comments on the proposed rule.

II. Discussion and Analysis

    The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition 
Regulations Council (the Councils) reviewed the public comments in the 
development of the final rule. A discussion of the comments and the 
changes made to the rule as a result of those comments are provided as 
follows:

A. Summary of Significant Changes

    There are no significant changes from the proposed rule.

B. Analysis of Public Comments

    Of the three responses received, none provided negative comments on 
the rule, although they suggested changes as described below. No 
changes resulted from the public comments.
    Comment: A respondent expressed that paragraph (1) of the 
commercial product definition in the proposed rule is not consistent 
with the language in 41 U.S.C. 103(1). This respondent stated that 
while the wording for both definitions is very similar, the structure 
of the definition as promulgated in current law indicates it was the 
intent of Congress that for a product to meet the definition of a 
commercial product under paragraph (1), it must have been sold, leased, 
or licensed, or offered for sale, lease, or license, to the general 
public.

[[Page 61018]]

    Response: The Councils note that the respondent's quoted definition 
is similar to the statutory definition, and to the definition used in 
the proposed rule. No change is necessary.
    Comment: Two respondents suggested to explicitly include commercial 
services under the definition of commercial-off-the-shelf (``COTS'') 
items to provide the Government access to the broadest range of service 
providers. One respondent pointed to the following benefits: increase 
competition and allow Government customers quicker access to required 
commercial services. A respondent suggested to, at least, clarify that 
commercial wireless telecommunications offerings constitute a 
``commercial product'' and thus can satisfy all definitional elements 
of COTS items.
    Response: The Councils cannot accept the suggestions because they 
are not consistent with the statute being implemented. Section 836 of 
the NDAA for FY 2019 did not modify the definition of COTS item.

C. Other Changes

    Other changes made in the final rule are as follows:
     Revisions were made to account for additional instances of 
the term ``commercial item'' in the FAR after the proposed rule was 
published in the following sections: FAR 9.110-4(b), 9.110-5, 9.405-1, 
39.205(a)(3) and (c)(3), 43.105(c), 52.209-14(d)(1), 52.229-13(c), and 
52.229-14(c).
     Three changes missed in the proposed rule were added as 
follows: the heading of FAR subpart 12.1, the word ``commercial'' at 
FAR 15.601, and the inclusion of ``commercial products'' in 52.212-
5(b)(36).
     Prescriptive language was relocated from the introductory 
text for the FAR clauses at 52.216-2, 52.216-3, and 52.216-4 to FAR 
16.203-4(a)(4), (b)(6), and (c)(5), respectively, to be consistent with 
FAR drafting conventions.

III. Applicability to Contracts at or Below the Simplified Acquisition 
Threshold (SAT) and for Commercial Products (Including Commercially 
Available Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Items), or for Commercial Services

    This rule does not create new solicitation provisions or contract 
clauses. This rule merely replaces the term ``commercial item(s)'' with 
``commercial product(s),'' ``commercial service(s),'' ``commercial 
product(s) or commercial service(s),'' or ``commercial product(s) and 
commercial service(s)'' in the FAR including in part 52, as 
appropriate. This rule does not impose any new requirements on 
contracts at or below the SAT or for commercial products, including 
COTS items, or for commercial services.

IV. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563

    Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess 
all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if 
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize 
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public 
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). E.O. 
13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, 
of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. 
This is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not 
subject to review under section 6(b) of E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning 
and Review, dated September 30, 1993.

V. Congressional Review Act

    As required by the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801-808) 
before an interim or final rule takes effect, DoD, GSA, and NASA will 
send the rule and the ``Submission of Federal Rules Under the 
Congressional Review Act'' form to each House of the Congress and to 
the Comptroller General of the United States. A major rule cannot take 
effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register. The 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) in the Office of 
Management and Budget has determined that this is not a major rule 
under 5 U.S.C. 804.

VI. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    DoD, GSA, and NASA have prepared a Final Regulatory Flexibility 
Analysis (FRFA) consistent with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 
U.S.C. 601-612. The FRFA is summarized as follows:

    This final rule amends the FAR to change the definition of 
``commercial item'' by splitting it into the definitions of 
``commercial product'' and ``commercial service''.
    The objective is to implement section 836 of the John S. McCain 
NDAA for FY19 (Pub. L. 115-232). This is consistent with the 
recommendations by the independent panel created by section 809 of 
the NDAA for FY 2016 (Pub. L. 114-92). This case implements 
amendments to 41 U.S.C. 103 and 103a. The legal basis for this rule 
is 40 U.S.C. 121(c), 10 U.S.C. chapter 137, and 51 U.S.C. 20113.
    There were no significant issues raised by the public comments 
in response to the initial regulatory flexibility analysis.
    The final rule impacts all entities that do business with the 
Federal Government, including the over 327,458 small business 
registrants in the System for Award Management. However, the rule 
does not implement any requirements with which small entities must 
comply. This rule splits the definition of ``commercial item'' into 
the definitions of ``commercial product'' and ``commercial 
service''.
    The final rule does not include additional reporting or record 
keeping requirements.
    There are no available alternatives to the final rule to 
accomplish the desired objective of the statute.

    Interested parties may obtain a copy of the FRFA from the 
Regulatory Secretariat Division. The Regulatory Secretariat Division 
has submitted a copy of the FRFA to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of 
the Small Business Administration.

VII. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C 3501-3521) applies; however, 
the changes to the FAR and the updates to the information collections 
do not impose new information collection burden. The changes do not 
impose additional, or change any existing, information collection 
requirements to the paperwork burden previously approved under the 
following OMB Control Numbers: 9000-0007, Subcontracting Plans; 9000-
0018, Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 3: Improper Business 
Practices and Personal Conflicts of Interest; 9000-0193, FAR Part 9

2.101   Definitions.

* * * * *
    (b) * * *
    (2) * * *
    Commercial product means--
    (1) A product, other than real property, that is of a type 
customarily used by the general public or by nongovernmental entities 
for purposes other than governmental purposes, and--
    (i) Has been sold, leased, or licensed to the general public; or
    (ii) Has been offered for sale, lease, or license to the general 
public;
    (2) A product that evolved from a product described in paragraph 
(1) of this definition through advances in technology or performance 
and that is not yet available in the commercial marketplace, but will 
be available in the commercial marketplace in time to satisfy the 
delivery requirements under a Government solicitation;
    (3) A product that would satisfy a criterion expressed in paragraph 
(1) or (2) of this definition, except for--
    (i) Modifications of a type customarily available in the commercial 
marketplace; or
    (ii) Minor modifications of a type not customarily available in the 
commercial marketplace made to meet Federal Government requirements. 
``Minor modifications'' means modifications that do not significantly 
alter the nongovernmental function or essential physical 
characteristics of an item or component, or change the purpose of a 
process. Factors to be considered in determining whether a modification 
is minor include the value and size of the modification and the 
comparative value and size of the final product. Dollar values and 
percentages may be used as guideposts, but are not conclusive evidence 
that a modification is minor;
    (4) Any combination of products meeting the requirements of 
paragraph (1), (2), or (3) of this definition that are of a type 
customarily combined and sold in combination to the general public;
    (5) A product, or combination of products, referred to in 
paragraphs (1) through (4) of this definition, even though the product, 
or combination of products, is transferred between or among separate 
divisions, subsidiaries, or affiliates of a contractor; or
    (6) A nondevelopmental item, if the procuring agency determines the 
product was developed exclusively at private expense and sold in 
substantial quantities, on a competitive basis, to multiple State and 
local governments or to multiple foreign governments.
    Commercial service means--
    (1) Installation services, maintenance services, repair services, 
training services, and other services if--
    (i) Such services are procured for support of a commercial product 
as defined in this section, regardless of whether such services are 
provided by the same source or at the same time as the commercial 
product; and
    (ii) The source of such services provides similar services 
contemporaneously to the general public under terms and conditions 
similar to those offered to the Federal Government;
    (2) Services of a type offered and sold competitively in 
substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace based on 
established catalog or market prices for specific tasks performed or 
specific outcomes to be achieved and under standard commercial terms 
and conditions. For purposes of these services--
    (i) Catalog price means a price included in a catalog, price list, 
schedule, or other form that is regularly maintained by the 
manufacturer or vendor, is either published or otherwise available for 
inspection by customers, and states prices at which sales are 
currently, or were last, made to a significant number of buyers 
constituting the general public; and
    (ii) Market prices means current prices that are established in the 
course of ordinary trade between buyers and sellers free to bargain and 
that can be substantiated through competition or from sources 
independent of the offerors; or
    (3) A service referred to in paragraph (1) or (2) of this 
definition, even though the service is transferred between or among 
separate divisions, subsidiaries, or affiliates of a contractor.

    (a) Agency and procuring activity advocates for competition are 
responsible for--
    (1) Promoting the acquisition of commercial products and commercial 
services;
    (2) Promoting full and open competition;
    (3) Challenging requirements that are not stated in terms of 
functions to be performed, performance required, or essential physical 
characteristics;
    (4) Challenging barriers to the acquisition of commercial products 
and commercial services; and
    (5) Challenging barriers to full and open competition such as

technical (capability of the item offered to meet the agency need), 
price, and past performance. Technical capability may be evaluated by

commercial products or commercial services do not have to contain 
subfactors for technical capability when the solicitation adequately 
describes the intended use of the commercial product or commercial 
service. A technical evaluation would normally include examination of 
such things as product or service literature, product samples (if 
requested), technical features, and warranty provisions. Past 
performance shall be evaluated in accordance with the procedures in 
section 13.106 or subpart 15.3, as applicable. The contracting officer 
shall ensure the instructions provided in the provision at 52.212-1, 
Instructions to Offerors--Commercial Products and Commercial Services,
