SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

This interim rule revises the DFARS 

to implement changes resulting from the 

expiration of 10 U.S.C. 2323 on 

September 30, 2009. Section 2323 of 

Title 10 was the underlying statutory 

authority for DoD’s Small 

Disadvantaged Business (SDB) program, 

including the establishment of a specific 

goal within the overall 5 percent SDB 

goal for the award of prime contracts 

and subcontracts to historically black 

colleges and universities (HBCUs) and 

minority institutions (MIs). DoD’s 

fundamental policy to provide the 

maximum practicable number of 

contracting opportunities for SDB 

concerns and, in defense-related 

research and development, the 

maximum number of opportunities for 

HBCUs and MIs, is unchanged by this 

rule, as demonstrated by the following: 

—DoD’s annual SDB goal is 5 percent of 

the total value of all prime contract 

and subcontract awards for each fiscal 

year, in keeping with 15(g) of the 

Small Business Act, Pub. L. 85–536, 

as amended, (15 U.S.C. 644(g)). DoD 

has met or exceeded this goal every 

fiscal year since 2001. 

—DoD contracting officers may continue 

to use incentives to encourage prime 

contractors to increase subcontracting 

opportunities with all small business 

types, including SDBs. 

—DoD contracting officers will continue 

to evaluate the extent of small 

business participation, including that 

of SDBs, in solicitations and contracts 

that require subcontracting plans, as 

well as the past performance of 

offerors’ achievement of their small 

business subcontracting goals. 

—In addition, section 252 of the 

National Defense Authorization Act 

for Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 (codified at 

10 U.S.C. 2362) authorized the 

Secretary of Defense to establish a 

program to provide assistance to 

HBCUs and MIs in defense-related 

research, development, testing, and 

evaluation activities. This statutory 

authority is used in support of DoD’s 

annual HBCU/MI Broad Agency 

Announcement. 

II. Discussion and Analysis 

The following is a summary of the 

revisions to the DFARS: 

—Removal of DFARS 205.207(d) 

subparagraphs (i) and (ii), which 

provided guidance for synopsizing 

HBCU and MI set-asides, and update 

the PGI reference in subparagraph 

(iii).
