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

II. Executive Order 12866

    This is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, is not 
subject to 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

    DoD does not expect this proposed rule 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., 
because the proposed rule imposes no new requirements on small 
businesses. It makes no significant change to DoD policy regarding the 
management of Government property in the possession of contractors. 
Therefore, DoD has not performed an initial regulatory flexibility 
analysis. DoD invites comments from small businesses and other 
interested parties on the expected impact of this rule on small 
entities.
    DoD also will consider comments from small entities concerning the 
affected DFARS subparts in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Such comments 
should be submitted separately and should cite DFARS Case 2009-D008.

IV. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The information collection requirements of the Defense Federal 
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) part 245, Government 
Property, related clauses in DFARS part 252, and related forms in DFARS 
part 253, have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) under OMB Control Number 0704-0246. No new information collection 
requirements are imposed by this proposed rule.

List of Subjects in 48 CFR Parts 201, 245, and 252

    Government procurement.

Ynette R. Shelkin,
Editor, Defense Acquisition Regulations System.
    Therefore, DoD proposes to amend 48 CFR parts 201, 245, and 252 as 
follows:
    1. The authority citation for 48 CFR parts 201, 245, and 252 
continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 41 U.S.C. 421 and 48 CFR chapter 1.

PART 201--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM

    2. Add section 201.670 to read as follows:

    (a) The head of a contracting activity shall appoint or terminate 
(in writing) property administrators and plant clearance officers.
    (b) In appointing qualified property administrators and plant

experience, training, education, business acumen, judgment, character, 
and ethics.

Services.
    4. Add subpart 245.5 to read as follows:

245.602-1  Inventory disposal schedules.

    Plant clearance officers shall verify inventory schedules to 
determine the following:
    (1) Allocability.
    (i) Review contract requirements, delivery schedules, bills of 
material, and other pertinent documents to determine whether schedules 
include property that--
    (A) Is appropriate for use on the contract; or
    (B) Exceeds the quantity required for completion of the contract, 
but could be diverted to other commercial work or Government use.
    (ii) Review the contractor's--
    (A) Recent purchases of similar material;
    (B) Plans for current and scheduled production;
    (C) Stock record entries; and
    (D) Bills of material for similar items.
    (2) Quantity. While a complete physical count of each item may not 
be required, take adequate measures to provide reasonable assurance 
that available inventory is in accordance with quantities listed on the 
inventory schedules.
    (3) Condition. Ensure the inventory condition matches that shown on 
the inventory schedules.


245.602-3  Screening.

    Property will be screened DoD-wide, including the contracting 
agency, requiring agency and, as appropriate, the General Services 
Administration. The requiring agency shall have priority for retention 
of listed items. All required screening must be completed before any 
surplus contractor inventory sale can take place. The plant clearance 
officer shall arrange for inspection of property at the contractor's 
plant if requested by a prospective transferee, in such a manner as to 
avoid interruption of the contractor's operations.


245.602-70  Plant clearance procedures.

    Follow the procedures at PGI 245.602-70 for establishing and

    (i) Maximum practical competition is maintained;
    (ii) Sources solicited are recorded; and
    (iii) Informal bids are confirmed in writing.
    (2) Sale approval and award.
    (i) Evaluate bids to establish that the sale price is fair and 
reasonable, taking into consideration--

    (B) Current published prices for the property;
    (C) The nature, condition, quantity, and location of the property; 
and
    (D) Past sale history for like or similar items.
    (ii) Approve award to the responsible bidder whose bid is most 
advantageous to the Government. The plant clearance officer shall not 
approve award to any bidder who is not eligible to enter into a 
contract with DoD due to inclusion on the Excluded Parties List System. 
If a compelling reason exists to award to a bidder on the excluded 
list, the plant clearance officer shall request approval from the 
contracting officer.
    (iii) Notify the contractor of the bidder to whom an award will be 
made within five working days from receipt of bids.
    (3) Noncompetitive sales.
    (i) Noncompetitive sales include purchases or retention at less 
than cost by the contractor. Noncompetitive sales may be made when--
    (A) The contracting department/agency or the plant clearance 
officer determines that this method is essential to expeditious plant 
clearance; and
    (B) The Government's interests are adequately protected.
    (ii) Noncompetitive sales shall be at fair and reasonable prices, 
not less than those reasonably expected under competitive sales.
    (iii) Conditions justifying non-competitive sales are--
    (A) No acceptable bids are received under competitive sale;
    (B) Anticipated proceeds do not warrant competitive sale;
    (C) Specialized nature of the property would not create bidder 
interest;
    (D) Removal of the property would reduce its value or result in 
disproportionate handling expenses; or
    (E) Such action is essential to the Government's interests.

or
    (iv) Forwarded to the plant clearance officer.
    (d) Contractor inventory in foreign countries.

inventory in foreign countries provided that--
    (1) The proposed purchaser's name is not on the list of Parties 
Excluded from Procurement Programs;

characteristics, and not required within DoD, in accordance with the 
terms and conditions of the contract and consistent with Defense 
Demilitarization Manual, DoD 4160.21-M-1, edition in effect as of

    (i) The Contractor shall submit for approval to the property 
administrator a procedure for the untability and management of

and efficient disposition of scrap so as to minimize costs and 
maximize sales proceeds; and contain the necessary internal controls 
for mitigating the improper release of non-scrap property. 
Government- and contractor-owned scrap may be commingled, with plant 
clearance officer concurrence, when determined to be effective and 
efficient.
    (ii) Once approved by the property administrator, the plant 
clearance officer may authorize routine disposal of scrap.

DD Form 1639, Scrap Warranty.
    (ii) The Contracting Officer may release the Contractor from the 
terms of the scrap warranty in return for consideration paid to the

between--
    (A) The sale price of the scrap; and
    (B) A fair and reasonable price for the material if it had been 
sold for purposes other than scrap.
    (iii) The Contractor shall pay the consideration to the 
Government and the Government may execute the release even though 
the contract containing the warranty was not made directly with the 
Government.
    (iv) If the scrap is resold to a second buyer, the first buyer 
shall obtain a scrap warranty from the second buyer. Upon receipt of

be made in accordance with the terms of the project agreement.
    (l) Sale of surplus contractor inventory.
    (1) The Contractor or its employees shall submit their bids to 
the plant clearance officer prior to soliciting bids from other 
prospective bidders.
    (2) The Contractor shall solicit a sufficient number of bidders 
to obtain adequate competition and use formal invitations for bid, 
unless the plant clearance officer approves use of informal bid 
procedures. The Contractor shall include in its invitation for bids, 
the sales terms and conditions provided by the plant clearance 
officer.
    (3) The Contractor shall solicit bids at least 15 calendar days

    (5) In addition to mailing or delivering notice of the proposed 
sale to prospective bidders, the Contractor may (when the results 
are expected to justify the additional expense) display a notice of 
the proposed sale in appropriate public places, e.g., publish a 
sales notice in appropriate trade journals or magazines and local 
newspapers.
    (6) When the acquisition cost of the property to be sold at one 
time, in one place, is $250,000 or more, the Contractor shall send a 
notice of the proposed sale to FedBizOpps (http://www.fbo.gov).
    (7) The plant clearance officer or representative will witness 
the bid opening. Within two working days after bid opening, the 
Contractor will submit to the plant clearance officer, either

by the Purchaser. Insert item number(s) and specific

    (ii) Demilitarization on Government or non-Government premises. 
Property requiring demilitarization shall be demilitarized by the 
Purchaser under the supervision of qualified Department of Defense 
personnel. Property requiring demilitarization shall not be removed, 
and title shall not pass to the Purchaser, until demilitarization 
has been accomplished and verified by a Government representative. 
Demilitarization will be accomplished as specified in the contract. 
The Purchaser agrees to assume all costs incident to the 
demilitarization and to restore the working area to its present 
condition after removing the demilitarized property.
    (iii) Failure to demilitarize. If the Purchaser fails to 
demilitarize the property as specified in the contract, the 
Contractor may, upon giving ten days written notice from date of 
mailing to the Purchaser--
    (A) Repossess, demilitarize, and return the property to the 
Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby agrees to pay to the Contractor, 
prior to the return of the property, all costs incurred by the 
Contractor in repossessing, demilitarizing, and returning the 
property to the Purchaser.
    (B) Repossess, demilitarize, and resell the property, and charge 
the defaulting Purchaser with all excess costs incurred by the 
Contractor. The Contractor shall deduct these costs from the 
purchase price and refund the balance of the purchase price, if any, 
to the Purchaser. In the event the excess costs exceed the purchase 
price, the defaulting Purchaser hereby agrees to pay these excess 
costs to the Contractor.
    (C) Repossess and resell the property under similar terms and 
conditions. In the event this option is exercised, the Contractor 
shall charge the defaulting Purchaser with all excess costs incurred 
by the Contractor. The Contractor shall deduct these excess costs 
from the original purchase price and refund the balance of the 
purchase price, if any, to the defaulting Purchaser. Should the 
excess costs to the Contractor exceed the purchase price, the 
defaulting Purchaser hereby agrees to pay these excess costs to the 
Contractor.
