Dated: September 19, 2006. 

Ralph De Stefano, 

Director, Contract Policy Division. 

■ Therefore, DoD, GSA, and NASA 

amend 48 CFR parts 4, 12, 14, and 15 

as set forth below: 

■ 1. The authority citation for 48 CFR 

parts 4, 12, 14, and 15 continues to read 

as follows: 

Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c); 10 U.S.C. 

chapter 137; and 42 U.S.C. 2473(c). 

PART 4—ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS 

■ 2. Amend section 4.803 by revising 

paragraph (a)(11) to read as follows: 

4.803 Contents of contract files. 

* * * * * 

(a) * * * 

(11) Contractor’s representations and 

certifications (see 4.1201(c)). 

* * * * * 

■ 3. Amend section 4.1201 by adding 

paragraph (c) to read as follows: 

4.1201 Policy. 

* * * * * 

(c) Data in ORCA is archived and is 

electronically retrievable. Therefore, 

when a prospective contractor has 

completed representations and 

certifications electronically via ORCA, 

the contracting officer may reference the 

date of ORCA verification in the 

associated Government contract file, 

rather than including a paper copy of 

the electronically-submitted 

representations and certifications in the 

file. Such a reference satisfies contract 

file documentation requirements of 

4.803(a)(11). However, if an offeror 

identifies changes to ORCA data 

pursuant to the FAR provisions at 

52.204–8(c) or 52.212–3(k), the 

contracting officer must include a copy 

of the changes in the contract file. 

PART 12—ACQUISITION OF 

COMMERCIAL ITEMS 

■ 4. Amend section 12.301 by revising 

the first sentence of paragraph (b)(2) to 

read as follows: 

12.301 Solicitation provisions and 

contract clauses for the acquisition of 

commercial items. 

* * * * * 

(b)(2) * * * This provision provides a 

single, consolidated list of 

representations and certifications for the 

acquisition of commercial items and is 

attached to the solicitation for offerors 

to complete. * * * 

* * * * * 

PART 14—SEALED BIDDING 

■ 5. Amend section 14.201–1 by adding 

to paragraph (c) a parenthetical 

following the third sentence to read as 

follows: 

14.201–1 Uniform contract format. 

* * * * * 

(c) * * * (See 4.1201(c).) * * * 

* * * * * 

PART 15—CONTRACTING BY 

NEGOTIATION 

■ 6. Amend section 15.102 by revising 

the second sentence of paragraph (b) to 

read as follows: 

15.102 Oral presentations. 

* * * * * 

(b) * * * However, representations 

and certifications shall be submitted as 

required in the FAR provisions at 

52.204–8(c) or 52.212–3(k), and a signed 

offer sheet (including any exceptions to 

the Government’s terms and conditions) 

shall be submitted in writing. 

* * * * * 

■ 7. Amend section 15.204–1 by adding 

to paragraph (b) a parenthetical 

following the second sentence to read as

Federal Acquisition Regulation; FAR 

Case 2004–033, Inflation Adjustment of 

Acquisition-Related Thresholds 

AGENCIES: Department of Defense (DoD), 

General Services Administration (GSA), 

and National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration (NASA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Civilian Agency 

Acquisition Council and the Defense 

Acquisition Regulations Council 

(Councils) have agreed on a final rule 

amending the Federal Acquisition 

Regulation (FAR) to adjust acquisitionrelated thresholds for inflation, in 

accordance with 41 U.S.C. 431a as 

added by section 807 of the Ronald W. 

Reagan National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (Pub. L. 108–

375). This rule also amends some 

acquisition-related thresholds that are 

based on policy rather than statute. 

Inflation adjustment of cost accounting 

standards (CAS) thresholds will be 

addressed in a separate case. 

DATES: Effective Date: September 28, 

2006.

clarification of content, contact Mr. 

Michael Jackson, Procurement Analyst, 

at (202) 208–4949. Please cite FAC 

2005–13, FAR case 2004–033. For 

information pertaining to status or 

publication schedules, contact the FAR 

Secretariat at (202) 501–4755. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

Statute. This final rule implements 41 

U.S.C. 431a as added by Section 807 of 

the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 

(Pub. L. 108–375). 41 U.S.C. 431a 

provides for adjustment every 5 years of 

acquisition-related thresholds, except 

for Davis-Bacon Act, Service Contract 

Act, and trade agreements thresholds. 

This rule also escalates some 

nonstatutory acquisition-related 

thresholds. The statute does not permit 

escalation of acquisition-related 

thresholds established by the Davis 

Bacon Act, the Service Contract Act, or 

trade agreements. The statute does not 

authorize the FAR to escalate thresholds 

originating in executive order or the 

implementing agency (such as the 

Department of Labor or the Small 

Business Administration), unless the 

executive order or agency regulations 

are first amended. 

Public Comments. DoD, GSA, and 

NASA published a proposed rule in the 

Federal Register at 70 FR 73415, 

December 12, 2005. We received eight 

responses to the proposed rule 

(available at http:// 

www.regulations.gov/). All the 

responses were from Government 

personnel. Almost all the responses 

related to the proposed increase in the 

micro-purchase threshold. The Councils 

did not agree to any changes to the 

proposed rule based on the public 

comments. However, as addressed 

below, some of the thresholds have 

changed in the final rule. 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES2
57364 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 188 / Thursday, September 28, 2006 / Rules and Regulations 

Concur with rule 

Comment: Two respondents concur 

with the rule without further comment. 

Response: None required. 

Micro-purchase threshold 

Comment: Increase is not enough. 

One respondent is concerned that the 

increase in the micro-purchase 

threshold is totally insufficient. 

Response: The statute dictates the 

amount of the inflation adjustment, 

specifying the index to be used, and 

only allows inflation for a five-year 

period for those statutes that were in 

effect before October 1, 2000. 

Comment: Concern for impact on 

small business. One respondent 

expressed concerns over negative 

impact on small business. The 

respondent did not favor the pending 

increase in the micro-purchase 

threshold from $2,500 to $3,000 because 

there is not a simultaneous increase in 

the simplified acquisition threshold 

(SAT), thereby reducing the number of 

acquisitions automatically set aside for 

small business. The respondent 

proposed that the SAT should be raised 

at the same time as the increase in the 

micro-purchase threshold. 

Response: The Councils addressed 

this issue in the Federal Register notice 

and the Initial Regulatory Flexibility 

Analysis. The increase in the micropurchase threshold is required by 

statute. The statute does not provide 

flexibility in its application to 

acquisition-related thresholds. The 

escalation in accordance with the 

procedures set forth in the statute is 

mandatory. Following these procedures 

resulted in an escalation of $500 at this 

time for the micro-purchase threshold, 

and no escalation for the SAT, because 

of rounding as required by the statute. 

However, it is expected that the SAT 

will increase in year 2010, increasing 

the range for small business set-asides. 

Discrepancy with Service Contract Act 

(SCA) is a problem 

Comment: Three respondents are 

concerned that an increase in the micropurchase threshold to $3,000 while the 

SCA threshold remains at $2,500 creates 

problems. Problems cited include—

• This discrepancy will result in 

increased risk of purchase card holders 

violating the SCA. Monitoring the 

different thresholds adds to the 

overburdened purchase card program 

which was supposed to be a simple 

process; 

• The discrepancy poses a great 

burden on contracting as well as the 

credit card program and may have an 

adverse impact. The respondent 

understands that the statute prohibited 

increase in the SCA, but considers it 

logical to promote an initiative to 

amend the SCA to coincide with the 

micro-purchase threshold; and 

• This discrepancy is inviting 

violation of the provisions of the SCA, 

because many, if not most, of these 

purchases are made by non-contracting 

personnel who have no knowledge of 

the provisions of the SCA. 

Response: As stated in the above 

response, the increase in the micropurchase threshold is required by law, 

while the increase in the SCA threshold 

is prohibited by the law. Considering 

the specific prohibition of any increase 

in the SCA, the Councils consider it 

highly unlikely that any initiative to 

amend the SCA would meet with 

success. 

The Councils have limited use of the 

purchase card for services valued in 

excess of $2,500 that are subject to the 

Service Contract Act, by adding a 

restriction to the definition of ‘‘Micropurchase threshold’’ at FAR 2.101, so 

that it remains at $2,500 for services 

subject to the Service Contract Act. The 

Councils also recommend training for 

cardholders so that they will be able to 

identify which service contracts are 

subject to the Act. 

Increase the Davis-Bacon Act threshold 

Comment: One respondent 

recommended increase in the DavisBacon Act threshold. 

Response: The statute specifically 

excludes the Davis-Bacon Act from any 

adjustment. 

Increase the third party draft 

transaction threshold 

Comment: One respondent 

recommends that, unless Treasury 

restrictions take precedence over FAR 

changes, this $2,500 threshold at FAR 

13.305–3(b) also be raised to $3,000, 

consistent with other changes to the 

micro-purchase threshold in the 

proposed rule. 

Response: The Treasury restrictions 

do take precedence. The statute does not 

authorize the FAR to escalate nonstatutory thresholds originating in 

another agency unless the agency 

regulations are first amended. 

Escalation. The inflation adjustment 

factors in the proposed rule were 

calculated on the basis of December 

2004 data. For the final rule, data 

through October 2005 has been used. 

This resulted in a slight increase in the 

calculated inflation adjustment factors. 

For the five-year period October 2000 

through October 2005, the inflation 

adjustment factor increased from 13 to 

14.5 percent. However, due to rounding, 

most thresholds in the proposed rule 

did not actually change. 

The following frequently used 

thresholds are the same in the final rule 

as in the proposed rule: 

• Micro-purchase threshold at FAR 

2.101: ‘‘$3,000’’. 

• FPDS reporting threshold at FAR 

4.602(c): ‘‘$3,000’’. 

• Commercial Items test program 

ceiling at FAR 13.500: ‘‘$5,500,000’’. 

• Prime contractor subcontracting 

plan floor at FAR 19.702: ‘‘$550,000’’

(but for construction ($1,000,000) is 

unchanged). 

The following thresholds further 

increased from the proposed to the final 

rule: 

• Major system (DoD) at FAR 2.101: 

‘‘$173,500,000 and $814,500,000’’. 

• J&A approval levels at FAR 6.304, 

8.405–6, 13.501: ‘‘$57,000,000 and 

$78,500,000’’. 

• Bundling at FAR 7.107: 

‘‘$86,000,000 and $8,600,000’’. 

• Treatment as a commercial item at 

FAR 12.102, 12.203, 13.000, 13.303–5, 

13.500, 15.403–1(c)(3)(i): ‘‘$11,000,000, 

$16,000,000, and $27,000,000’’. 

• TINA cost and pricing data at FAR 

15.403, 15.403–4, 42.7: ‘‘$650,000’’. 

• Multiyear cancellation ceiling 

notice to Congress, DoD at FAR 

17.108(b): ‘‘$114,500,000’’. 

The threshold of $5 million at FAR 

19.1406(a)(2)(i) is the only threshold in 

the matrix of FAR thresholds that was 

not included in the text of the proposed 

rule, but is now included in the final 

rule, because the calculated threshold 

now rounds up to $5.5 million. 

A matrix of the thresholds considered 

in the drafting of the final rule is 

available via the Internet at http:// 

acquisition.gov/far/facsframe.html. 

Right to Petition 

The Councils note that the statute 

provides the right to petition. If a dollar 

threshold adjustable under the statute is 

not included in this notice of 

adjustment, any person may request 

adjustment of that dollar threshold by 

submitting a petition for adjustment to 

the Administrator for Federal 

Procurement Policy. Please note, 

however, that due to rounding 

requirements, many thresholds that 

were considered for adjustment were 

not actually changed at this time 

because the inflation was insufficient to 

overcome the rounding requirements 

(e.g., thresholds of $1,000, $10,000, 

$100,000, and $1,000,000). These 

thresholds will probably be adjusted in 

year 2010, if inflation continues at a rate 

comparable to the current rate of 

inflation. 

This is not a significant regulatory 

action and, therefore, was not subject to 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES2
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 188 / Thursday, September 28, 2006 / Rules and Regulations 57365 

review under Section 6(b) of Executive 

Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and 

Review, dated September 30, 1993. This 

rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 

804. 

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 

U.S.C. 601, et seq., applies to this final 

rule. The Councils prepared a Final 

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (FRFA), 

and it is summarized as follows: 

Most of the threshold changes proposed in 

this rule will not have any significant 

economic impact on small business because 

they are intended to maintain the status quo 

by adjusting for changes in the value of the 

dollar. For example, the prime contractor 

subcontracting plan floor at FAR 19.702 for 

other than construction contacts will be 

raised from $500,000 to $550,000. This is just 

keeping pace with inflation. 

Often any impact will be beneficial by 

preventing burdensome requirements from 

applying to more and more small dollar value 

acquisitions, which are the acquisitions in 

which small businesses are most likely to 

participate. 

One respondent was specifically concerned 

about the impact on the small business 

community of the increase in the micropurchase threshold without a corresponding 

increase in the simplified acquisition 

threshold, thereby temporarily narrowing the 

range of automatic set-asides for small 

business. 

To assess the impact of the increase in the 

micro-purchase threshold from $2,500 to 

$3,000, data was requested from FPDS-NG. 

For Fiscal Year 2004, actions between $2,500 

and $3,000, there is a total of 25,212 contract 

actions with a value of $13,732,445. Of this 

total, 16,031 (value of $8,083,900) of these 

actions went to small businesses. We expect 

that many of these awards will still go to 

small businesses, even if there is no longer 

a requirement to automatically set the 

procurement aside for small business. 

The simplified acquisition threshold is 

expected to increase by a much greater 

amount five years from now when the 

thresholds are next adjusted, thereby 

increasing the range of automatic set-asides 

for small business. 

The Councils did not make any changes in 

the final rule as a result of these comments, 

because the increases are dictated by statute. 

Interested parties may obtain a copy 

from the FAR Secretariat. The FAR 

Secretariat has submitted a copy of the 

FRFA to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy 

of the Small Business Administration. 

C. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The Paperwork Reduction Act does 

apply; however, these changes to the 

FAR do not impose additional 

information collection requirements to 

the paperwork burden previously 

approved under OMB Control Numbers 

9000–0006, 9000–0007, 9000–0013, 

9000–0026, 9000–0027, 9000–0028, 

9000–0029, 9000–0037, 9000–0043, 

9000–0045, 9000–0065, 9000–0066, 

9000–0070, 9000–0078, 9000–0094, 

9000–0115, 9000–0138, 9000–0145, 

9000–0150, and 1215–0072. They 

maintain the current information 

collection requirements at the status quo 

by adjusting the thresholds for inflation.

REGULATIONS SYSTEM 

■ 2. Add section 1.109 to read as 

follows: 

1.109 Statutory acquisition-related dollar 

thresholds—adjustment for inflation. 

(a) 41 U.S.C. 431a requires that the 

FAR Council periodically adjust all 

statutory acquisition-related dollar 

thresholds in the FAR for inflation, 

except as provided in paragraph (c) of 

this section. This adjustment is 

calculated every 5 years, starting in 

October 2005, using the Consumer Price 

Index (CPI) for all-urban consumers, and 

supersedes the applicability of any other 

provision of law that provides for the 

adjustment of such acquisition-related 

dollar thresholds. 

(b) The statute defines an acquisitionrelated dollar threshold as a dollar 

threshold that is specified in law as a 

factor in defining the scope of the 

applicability of a policy, procedure, 

requirement, or restriction provided in 

that law to the procurement of supplies 

or services by an executive agency, as 

determined by the FAR Council. 

(c) The statute does not permit 

escalation of acquisition-related dollar 

thresholds established by the DavisBacon Act (40 U.S.C. 3141 through 

3144, 3146, and 3147), the Service 

Contract Act of 1965 (41 U.S.C. 351, et 

seq.), or the United States Trade 

Representative pursuant to the authority 

of the Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (19 

U.S.C. 2511 et seq).
