10/25/02 Dispatch: Defense FAR Supplement - Performance-Based Contracting Using FAR Part 12 Procedures
SOURCE: Federal Register, October 25, 2002, Vol. 67, No. 207, page 65512
SYNOPSIS: DOD is finalizing, with minor editorial changes, the interim rule that amended DFARS Part 212, Acquisition of Commercial Items, to implement Section 821(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Public Law 106-398), which permits DOD to treat certain performance-based service contracts and task orders as contracts for the procurement of commercial items.
EDITOR'S NOTE: For more on the interim rule being finalized, see the December 6, 2001, FEDERAL CONTRACTS DISPATCH "Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS); Performance-Based Contracting Using FAR Part 12 Procedures."
For more on the acquisition-related provisions of Public Law 106-398, see the November 2, 2000, FEDERAL CONTRACTS DISPATCH "Enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2001."

On December 6, 2001, an interim rule was published that implemented Section 821(b) by adding DFARS Subpart 212.1, Acquisition of Commercial Items -- General, which consists of DFARS 212.102, Applicability. DFARS 212.102 reflects the Section 821 conditions on the use of the authority. Four respondents submitted comments, and most of the changes are editorial. However, one commenter pointed out that paragraph (1) of DFARS 226.104, Contract Clause, precludes the use DFARS 252.226-7001, Utilization of Indian Organizations and Indian-Owned Economic Enterprises -- DOD Contracts, in any contract that uses FAR Part 12 procedures, so FAR Part 12 procedures cannot be used to award performance-based service contracts under the Indian Incentive Program. DOD agrees with the comment, so it is amending DFARS 226.104 to permit the use of DFARS 252.226-7001 in contracts for services that "qualify to use FAR Part 12 procedures solely through the authority in [DFARS] 212.102."
