**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 amuch 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). List of Subjects in 48 CFR Parts 205 and

**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 Actfor 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). List of Subjects in 48 CFR Part 217 Government procurement.

**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.
