relationships to facilitate better buying decisions. In order for these business tools to be useful, and to promote the procurement efficiencies required for better buying decisions, DoD requires the ability to understand the corporate structure and affiliations of its suppliers. DoD is seeking industry insight on ‘‘best practices’’ and how such a process may affect future offerors. In particular, DoD invites discussion at the public meeting and public comment on the following:

(1) Means of identifying whether or not a particular DoD contractor is owned or controlled by another business entity.

(2) Would it be meaningful, from the private sector perspective, to characterize an ‘‘immediate owner,’’ as the business entity, which has the most direct and proximate ownership or control of the offeror? If not, then please suggest an alternative characterization.

(3) Would it be meaningful, from the private sector perspective, to characterize the ‘‘highest-level owner’’ as a business entity, which owns or controls the one or more business entities that own or control the offeror? If not, then please suggest an alternative characterization.

(4) Would it be meaningful, from the private sector perspective, to characterize an ‘‘owner’’ as a business entity, other than the offeror that owns or controls the offeror, or that owns or controls other business entities that own or control the offeror? An owner could then be either an immediate owner or a highest-level owner. If not meaningful, then please suggest an alternative characterization.

(5) One potential approach is for the offeror to provide with its offer the immediate owner Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code alongwith the legal name, and the highestlevel owner CAGE code along with the legal name (if a higher-level entity exists). If this process is considered burdensome, what are the potential ways to mitigate such burden?

(6) Are there additional factors that should be considered to accurately capture such a business environment? If so, please explain.
