SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On October 2, 2013, the U.S. Small 

Business Administration (SBA) issued a 

final rule establishing new policies and 

procedures for multiple-award contracts 

and task and delivery orders in the 

Federal Register at 78 FR 61114. The 

final rule implemented several 

provisions of the Small Business Jobs 

Act of 2010, Public Law 111–240. 

Section 1311 of Public Law 111–240 (15 

U.S.C. 632(v)) added a definition of 

‘‘multiple award contract’’. The SBA 

final rule included a definition of 

‘‘multiple award contract’’ at 13 CFR 

125.1(k). 

II. Proposed FAR Change 

The purpose of the proposed FAR 

change is to define multiple-award 

contract. The proposed FAR change 

would add a definition of multipleaward contract to FAR subpart 2.1, 

Definitions. 

III. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and 

13563 direct agencies to assess all costs 

and benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits
