Defense Federal Acquisition 

Regulations Supplement; Publication 

of Notification of Bundling of 

Contracts of the Department of 

Defense (DFARS Case 2009–D033) 

AGENCY: Defense Acquisition 

Regulations System, Department of 

Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: DoD is adopting as final, 

without change, an interim rule 

amending the Defense Federal 

Acquisition Regulation Supplement 

(DFARS) to implement the Fiscal Year 

2010 National Defense Authorization 

Act, section 820, entitled ‘‘Publication of 

Notification of Bundling of Contracts of 

the Department of Defense.’’ 

Dates: Effective Date: February 22, 

2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Meredith Murphy, 703–602–1302. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

DoD published an interim rule at 75 

FR 40714 on July 13, 2010, to 

implement section 820 of the Fiscal 

Year 2010 National Defense 

Authorization Act (Pub. L. 111–84), 

enacted October 28, 2009. The period 

for public comment closed on 

September 13, 2010. The interim rule 

added a requirement at DFARS 

205.205–70 to publish a notification of 

the intention to bundle a DoD 

procurement at least 30 days prior to (1) 

the release of a solicitation or (2) placing 

an order without a solicitation. This 

notification requirement is in addition 

to the existing requirements for market 

research at DFARS 210.001 when an 

acquisition could lead to a 

consolidation of contract requirements 

(see DFARS 210.001(c)(2)). 

DoD received no comments on the 

proposed rule. Therefore, DoD is 

finalizing the interim rule without 

change. 

II. Executive Order 12866 

This rule is not a significant 

regulatory action and therefore was not 

subject to Office of Management and 

Budget review under section 6(b) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, dated September 

30, 1993. This is not a major rule under 

5 U.S.C. 804. 

III. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

This rule will not 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, DoD 

has prepared a final regulatory 

flexibility analysis consistent with 5 

U.S.C. 603. A copy of the analysis may 

be obtained from the point of contact 

specified herein. The analysis is 

summarized as follows. 

This final rule amends the DFARS to 

implement section 820 of the National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 2010. Section 820 requires DoD 

contracting officers to publish a 

notification consistent with the 

requirements of FAR 10.001(c)(2) on 

FedBizOpps.gov, or any successor site, 

at least 30 days prior to the release of 

a solicitation for a bundled acquisition.

In addition, if the DoD agency has 

determined that measurably substantial 

benefits are expected to be derived as a 

result of bundling, the notification must 

include a brief description of those 

benefits. The objective of the rule is to 

enable small businesses to compete for 

more work of which the firms might 

otherwise have been unaware. The 

notification requirement will provide a 

much broader segment of the smallbusiness community awareness of 

upcoming business opportunities and 

then allow the small business to either 

submit a proposal or interact with the 

requiring agency to request unbundling 

before the solicitation is finalized. No 

comments were received from small 

entities on this rule. 

IV. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The rule does not impose 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).

Defense Federal Acquisition 

Regulation Supplement; Limitations on 

Procurements With Non-Defense 

Agencies (DFARS Case 2009–D027) 

AGENCY: Defense Acquisition 

Regulations System, Department of 

Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: DoD is adopting without 

change an interim rule amending the 

Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation 

Supplement (DFARS) to implement 

section 806 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010. 

Section 806 authorizes an agency that is 

an element of the intelligence 

community to award a contract for 

supplies or services in excess of the 

simplified acquisition threshold for the 

performance of a joint program 

conducted to meet the needs of DoD and 

the non-DoD agency. 

DATES: Effective Date: February 22, 

2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Meredith Murphy, 703–602–1302. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

DoD published an interim rule at 75 

FR 32639 on June 8, 2010, to implement 

section 806 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 

(Pub. L. 111–84), providing limitations 

on procurements with non-Defense 

agencies. The public comment period 

closed August 9, 2010. No comments 

were received in response to the interim 

rule. 

II. Executive Order 12866 

This rule was not subject to Office of 

Management and Budget review under 

Executive Order 12866, dated 

September 30, 1993. This rule is not a 

major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804. 

III. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

DoD certifies that this final rule will 

not 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., 

because the rule addresses internal DoD 

procedural matters only. Specifically, 

this implementation of section 806 of 

the National Defense Authorization Act 

for Fiscal Year 2010, Treatment of NonDefense Agency Procurements Under 

Joint Programs with Intelligence 

Community, amends the limitations 

placed on procurements by non-DoD 

agencies by exempting such 

procurements that are: (a) Entered into 

by a non-DoD agency that is an element 

of the intelligence community and (b) 

when the procurement is for the 

performance of a joint program 

conducted to meet the needs of DoD and 

the non-DoD agency. The statute 

resulted in changes to internal operating 

procedures with no impact on 

contractors or offerors. 

IV. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The changes to the DFARS do not 

impose 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).

Defense Federal Acquisition 

Regulation Supplement; Repeal of the 

Small Business Competitiveness 

Demonstration Program (DFARS Case 

2011–D001) 

AGENCY: Defense Acquisition 

Regulations System, Department of 

Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: DoD is issuing a final rule 

amending the Defense Acquisition 

Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to 

implement section 1335 of the Small 

Business Jobs Act of 2010. Section 1335 

repealed the Small Business 

Competitiveness Demonstration 

Program. 

DATES: Effective Date: February 22, 

2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Manual Quinones, 703–602–8383. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

This final rule amends the Defense 

Federal Acquisition Regulation 

Supplement by deleting subpart DFARS 

219.10 to meet the requirements of 

section 1335 of the Small Business Jobs 

Act of 2010, (Pub. L. 111–240). Section 

1335 amended the Business 

Opportunity Development Reform Act 

of 1988 (Pub. L. 100–656) by striking 

title VII (15 U.S.C. 644 note). The repeal 

of the Small Business Competitiveness 

Demonstration Program became 

effective immediately upon the 

enactment. It will apply to the first full 

fiscal year after the September 27, 2010, 

date of enactment (Fiscal Year 2011). 

Therefore, the text at DFARS subpart 

219.10 is obsolete.
