SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
DoD is proposing to amend the DFARS to implement paragraphs (b) and
(c) of section 849 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for
Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 (Pub. L. 115-91). Section 849 paragraph (b)
requires that DoD review the DFARS and propose revisions to eliminate
certain contract clause requirements applicable to Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) part 12 commercial product and commercial service
acquisitions, except for regulations required by law or Executive
order, unless the Secretary of Defense determines that there is a
specific reason not to eliminate the regulation. Section 849 paragraph
(c) requires that DoD review the DFARS and propose revisions to
eliminate certain contract clause requirements applicable to
commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item subcontracts, except
for regulations required by law or Executive order, unless the
Secretary of Defense determines that there is a specific reason not to
eliminate the regulation.
DoD also proposes to amend the DFARS to implement paragraph (a) of
section 837 of the NDAA for FY 2019 (Pub. L. 115-232). Section 837
paragraph (a) revises 10 U.S.C. 2375(b)(2), redesignated as 10 U.S.C.
3452(b)(2), by deleting the date ``January 1, 2015'' and adding the
date ``October 13, 1994'' (the date of the Federal Acquisition
Streamlining Act (FASA) of 1994). See companion DFARS case 2017-D010
proposed rule, published in the Federal Register at 83 FR 30646 on June
29, 2018, which examined commercial product and commercial service
applicability for DoD-unique statutes and associated contract clauses
issued on or after January 1, 2015. This proposed rule under DFARS Case
2018-D074 implements the section 837(a) change to 10 U.S.C. 3452(b)(2)
to extend the required review of applicability of provisions of law or
contract clauses to prime contracts for commercial products and
commercial services enacted after October 13, 1994. Paragraphs (c)(2)
and (d)(2) of 10 U.S.C. 3452 contain similar requirements for
subcontracts for commercial products and commercial services, and
contracts for COTS items; however, the date of October 13, 1994, is not
repeated in these sections. Following the precedent set in DFARS Case
2017-D010, for this proposed rule DoD has interpreted the date of
October 13, 1994, as equally applicable to all three paragraphs,
(b)(2), (c)(2), and (d)(2), since all three paragraphs are inter-
related.
It should be noted that a clause that is inapplicable to a contract
for commercial products is also inapplicable to a contract for COTS
items, which are commercial products, but a clause that is applicable
to a contract for commercial products may be inapplicable to a contract
for COTS items. The reason for this distinction is because a COTS item,
while a subset of commercial products, is unique in that it is offered
to the Government without modification and in the same form in which it
is sold in the commercial marketplace.
II. Discussion and Analysis
DoD identified the DFARS solicitation provisions and contract
clauses published as interim or final rules after October 13, 1994,
excluding those reviewed under DFARS case 2017-D010, and determined
whether the provisions and clauses were based on statute, Executive
order, or policy. New interim or final rules published after the
publication of DFARS case 2017-D010 on June 29, 2018, were also
identified and evaluated under this proposed rule. Provisions and
clauses listed at DFARS section 212.301 as applicable to the
acquisition of commercial products and commercial services were
included in the review.
The proposed rule adds to the list of inapplicable provisions and
clauses at DFARS 212.370, Inapplicability of Certain Provisions and
Clauses to Contracts and Subcontracts for the Acquisition of Commercial
Products, Commercial Services, and Commercially Available Off-the-shelf
Items, two provisions and one clause that are removed from paragraph
(f) at DFARS 212.301, Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses for
the Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services. These
provisions and clause will no longer be applicable to contracts and
subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial products, commercial
services, and COTS items:
DFARS 252.203-7003, Agency Office of the Inspector
General.
DFARS 252.203-7005, Representation Relating to
Compensation of Former DoD Officials.
DFARS 252.215-7007, Notice of Intent to Resolicit.
The proposed rule updates the text at DFARS 212.371,
Inapplicability of Certain Provisions and Clauses to Contracts for the
Acquisition of Commercially Available Off-the-shelf Items, to conform
to the change at 10 U.S.C. 3452(b)(2) by replacing the date of January
1, 2015, with October 13, 1994. In addition, two provisions and two
clauses, listed at DFARS 212.301,
[[Page 80469]]
are included on the list at DFARS 212.371. This means that although
these provisions and clauses are applicable to contracts for the
acquisition of commercial products and commercial services, they are
not applicable to contracts for the acquisition of COTS items:
252.204-7008, Compliance with Safeguarding Covered Defense
Information Controls.
252.204-7019, Notice of NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment
Requirements.
252.204-7020, NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Requirements.
252.204-7021, Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification
Requirements.
The proposed rule revises the following prescriptions for two
provisions and one clause to remove the requirement to include the
provisions and clause in solicitations using FAR part 12 procedures for
the acquisition of commercial products and commercial services:
The prescription at DFARS 203.171-4(b) for the provision
at DFARS 252.203-7005, Representation Relating to Compensation of
Former DoD Officials.
The prescription at DFARS 203.1004(a) for the clause at
DFARS 252.203-7003, Agency Office of the Inspector General.
The prescription at DFARS 215.371-6, for the provision at
DFARS 252.215-7007, Notice of Intent to Resolicit.
DFARS 204.7403(b) is amended to add the phrase ``that involve
litigation support services'' to clarify the application of the clause
at 252.204-7015, Notice of Authorized Disclosure of Information for
Litigation Support. At DFARS 212.301, the list of provisions and
clauses under paragraph (f) is amended to add statutory references or
expand on the existing references cited for several clauses and
provisions.
Section 212.504, Applicability of Certain Laws to Subcontracts for
the Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services, is
amended to remove the reference to 10 U.S.C. 4871, Reporting
Requirement Regarding Dealings with Terrorist Countries, which is
obsolete. The reporting requirement expired on September 30, 1996.
For this proposed rule, DoD evaluated solicitation provisions or
contract clauses in relation to 10 U.S.C. 3452 (e)(1), (e)(2), and
(e)(3), i.e., those that implement a statute that provides for criminal
or civil penalties, implement 10 U.S.C. 4862 or 4863, or implement
statutes that specifically referred to 10 U.S.C. 3452 and provided for
applicability to contracts for commercial products and commercial
services. DoD also identified pre-FASA provisions and clauses. A list
of those provisions and clauses follows this paragraph. No provisions
or clauses were identified as implementing statutes that specifically
referred to 10 U.S.C. 3452.
The following provisions and clauses implement statutes that
provide for criminal or civil penalties:
252.203-7000, Requirements Relating to Compensation of
Former DoD Officials.
252.203-7002, Requirement to Inform Employees of
Whistleblower Rights.
252.246-7007, Contractor Counterfeit Electronic Part
Detection and Avoidance System. (Applies to subcontracts.)
252.246-7008, Sources of Electronic Parts.
252.247-7027, Riding Gang Member Requirements.
The following provisions and clauses implement 10 U.S.C. 4862 or
4863:
252.225-7006, Acquisition of the American Flag.
252.225-7008, Restriction on Acquisition of Specialty
Metals.
252.225-7009, Restriction on Acquisition of Certain
Articles Containing Specialty Metals.
252.225-7010, Commercial Derivative Military Article-
Specialty Metals Compliance Certificate.
252.225-7012, Preference for Certain Domestic Commodities.
252.225-7015, Restriction on Acquisition of Hand or
Measuring Tools.
252.225-7029, Acquisition of Uniform Components for Afghan
Military or Afghan National Police.
The following clauses existed prior to FASA (i.e., before October
14, 1994).
252.205-7000, Provision of Information to Cooperative
Agreement Holders.
252.219-7003, Small Business Subcontracting Plan (DoD
Contracts).
252.225-7001, Buy American and Balance of Payments
Program.
252.247-7023, Transportation of Supplies by Sea.
252.247-7025, Reflagging or Repair Work.
III. Applicability to Contracts at or Below the Simplified Acquisition
Threshold (SAT), for Commercial Products, Including Commercially
Available Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Items, and for Commercial Services
This proposed rule does not create any new solicitation provisions
or contract clauses. However, the proposed rule proposes to change to
the applicability of the following provisions and clause by making them
inapplicable to contracts and subcontracts for the acquisition of
commercial products, commercial services, and COTS items: (1) 252.203-
7003, Agency Office of the Inspector General; (2) 252.203-7005,
Representation Relating to Compensation of Former DoD Officials; and
(3) 252.215-7007, Notice of Intent to Resolicit.
IV. Expected Impact of the Proposed Rule
This proposed rule, when finalized, could impact any large or small
business that is awarded a commercial contract by DoD. The proposed
rule does not add any new solicitation provisions or contract clauses.
Rather, there may be a reduction in burden on contractors by making two
solicitation provisions and one contract clause no longer applicable to
solicitations and contracts for commercial products, commercial
services, and COTS items.
V. 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, as amended.
VI. Regulatory Flexibility Act
DoD does not expect this proposed rule, when finalized, to have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et
seq. However, an initial regulatory flexibility analysis has been
performed and is summarized as follows:
DoD is proposing to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition
Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement sections of the National
Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 and the NDAA
for FY 2019 regarding applicability of certain solicitation provisions
and contract clauses to contracts and subcontracts for commercial
products, commercial
[[Page 80470]]
services, and commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) items.
The objective of this proposed rule is to implement paragraphs (b)
and (c) of section 849 of the NDAA for FY 2018 (Pub. L. 115-91).
Section 849 paragraph (b) requires an amendment to the DFARS to
eliminate certain contract clause requirements applicable to FAR part
12 commercial product and commercial service acquisitions, except for
regulations required by law or Executive order, unless the Secretary of
Defense determines that there is a specific reason not to eliminate the
regulation. Section 849 paragraph (c) requires an amendment to the
DFARS to eliminate certain contract clause requirements applicable to
COTS item subcontracts, except for regulations required by law or
Executive order, unless the Secretary of Defense determines that there
is a specific reason not to eliminate the regulation.
This proposed rule also includes revisions to implement paragraph
(a) of section 837 of the NDAA for FY 2019 (Pub. L. 115-232). Section
837 paragraph (a) revises 10 U.S.C. 2375(b)(2), redesignated as 10
U.S.C. 3452(b)(2), by deleting the date ``January 1, 2015'' and adding
the date ``October 13, 1994.'' This proposed rule implements the change
at 10 U.S.C. 3452(b)(2) by proposing an amendment to the DFARS to
eliminate solicitation provisions and contract clauses enacted after
October 13, 1994, not including the provisions or clauses referred to
in 10 U.S.C. 3452 (e)(1), (e)(2), and (e)(3), from commercial product
and commercial service solicitations and contracts, respectively,
unless the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment
makes a written determination that it would not be in the best interest
of the Department of Defense to exclude them.
According to data from the Federal Procurement Data System for FY
2020 through FY 2022, DoD awarded approximately 31,968 contracts for
commercial products, commercial services, or COTS items to an average
of 13,952 unique small entities per year. The proposed rule applies to
all entities that do business with DoD and is not expected to have a
significant impact on these entities, regardless of business size.
This proposed rule does not include any new reporting,
recordkeeping, or other compliance requirements for small entities.
The proposed rule does not duplicate, overlap, or conflict with any
other Federal rules.
There are no known significant alternative approaches to the
proposed rule that would meet the requirements of the applicable
statute.
DoD invites comments from small business concerns and other
interested parties on the expected impact of this rule on small
entities.
DoD will also consider comments from small entities concerning the
existing regulations in subparts affected by this rule in accordance
with 5 U.S.C. 610. Interested parties must submit such comments
separately and should cite 5 U.S.C. 610 (DFARS Case 2018-D074), in
correspondence.
VII. Paperwork Reduction Act
The proposed rule does not contain any information collection
requirements that require the approval of the Office of Management and
Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
