the work generally as specified; and

(2) A list of priorities that contains

one or more additive or deductive bid

items that progressively add or omit

specified features of the work in a stated

additive and deductive bid items in the

same solicitation.)

available for the project.

available funds to determine the low

bidder, which will be the bidder that—

(i) Is otherwise eligible for award; and

for the first or base bid item, plus or

items.

be made that includes the item and is

still within the available funds.

Government;

award; and

combination is less than the price

offered by any other responsive,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

This final rule contains fiscal year

2001 requirements for completion of DD

Form 350, Individual Contracting

Action Report, and DD Form 1057,

Monthly Summary of Contracting

Actions. DoD uses these forms to collect

statistical data on its contracting

actions. This rule contains reporting

changes related to bundled contracts,

North American Industry Classification

System codes, performance-based

service contracts, multiple award

contracts, and veteran-owned small

business concerns.

DD Forms 350 and 1057, and other

forms prescribed by the DFARS, are not

included in the Code of Federal

Regulations. The forms are available

electronically via the Internet at http://

web1.whs.osd.mil/icdhome/forms.htm.

This rule was not subject to Office of

Management and Budget review under

Executive Order 12866, dated

September 30, 1993.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

This final rule does not constitute a

significant revision within the meaning

of FAR 1.501 and Public Law 98–577

and publication for public comment is

not required. However, DoD will

consider comments from small entities

concerning the affected DFARS subparts

in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Such

comments should cite DFARS Case

2000-D001.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

The Paperwork Reduction Act does

not apply because the rule does not

impose any information collection

requirements that require the approval

of the Office of Management and Budget

under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.
