The purpose of the review is to determine if the documents are the most appropriate vehicles for procuring commercial products to meet our customers requirements in light of the evolutionary changes taking place in Federal Government procurement. When no MAS exists or a product cannot be procured to meet the customer's requirements using a SIN description, determine if we should continue to support the customer. Each contracting activity is to establish timeframes for review and conversion of the specifications and CIDs to ensure that the conversion is complete in time for the next contract period. An option should not be exercised when conversion criteria indicate a new requirements document is appropriate. All specifications and CIDs prepared by FSS should be reviewed and cancelled or justified no later than January 31, 2000.
Coordination is to follow the procedures in the Federal Standardization Manual.
