48 CFR Parts 212, 225, and 245

Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement; Technical 
Amendments

AGENCY: Defense Acquisition Regulations System, Department of Defense 
(DoD).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: DoD is making technical amendments to the Defense Federal 
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to provide needed editorial 
changes.

DATES: Effective January 15, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Manuel Quinones, Defense 
Acquisition Regulations System, OUSD (AT&L) DPAP (DARS), Room 3B941, 
3060 Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301-3060. Telephone 571-372-
6088; facsimile 571-372-6094.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final rule amends the DFARS as follows:
    1. Revises the format and presentation of the list of solicitation 
provisions and

[[Page 2019]]

contract clauses for the acquisition of commercial items at DFARS 
212.301(f). No changes are made to the provisions and clauses or to the 
prescriptions for their use, only the manner in which they are listed. 
Instead of a single continuous list, the provisions and clauses are 
being grouped and listed by the applicable DFARS part. This change will 
facilitate making additions or deletions to the appropriate part of the 
list without having to redesignate and renumber unaffected paragraphs 
in other parts to accommodate such changes.
    2. Revises the provision prescriptive language at DFARS 225.1101, 
paragraph (9), for clarity and to align with the format used for other 
prescription paragraphs within this section. No changes are made to the 
provision or the substance of the prescriptive language for using the 
provision.
    3. Corrects the estimated value cited at DFARS 225.1101(10)(i) to 
read $100,000 in lieu of $79,507.
    4. Updates the address of the National GeoSpatial-Intelligence 
Agency at DFARS 245.102(1)(ii)(A).
