The General Services Administration (GSA) is amending the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to revise sections of GSAR Part 537 that provide requirements for service contracting.
This rule covers the rewrite of GSAR Part 537. The rule revises 537 to address the text at GSAR 537.101, Definitions; 537.110 Solicitation provisions and contract clauses; provision 552.237-70, Qualifications of Offerors; and clause 552.237-73, Restriction on Disclosure of Information. The language in 537.101, Definitions, is removed from inclusion in the GSAR. This language clarifies the definition for “contracts for building services” for contracting officers, therefore this language is being incorporated as non-regulatory GSAM language. GSAR clauses 552.237-71, Qualifications of Employees and 552.237-72, Prohibition Regarding “Quasi-Military Armed Forces” are retained with no changes.
The General Services Administration does not expect this proposed rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because the revisions are not considered substantive. The revisions only update and reorganize existing coverage. An Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis has, therefore, not been performed. We invite comments from small businesses and other interested parties. GSA will consider comments from small entities concerning the affected GSAR Parts 537 and 552 in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Interested parties must submit such comments separately and should cite 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq. (GSAR case 2008-G510), in all correspondence.
Therefore, GSA proposes to amend 48 CFR parts 537 and 552 as set forth below:
1. The authority citation for 48 CFR parts 537 and 552 continues to read as follows:
3. Amend section 537.110 by removing from paragraph (a) “initiated” and adding “initiated with Ability One” in its place.
4. Amend section 552.237-70 by revising the date of the provision to read “(Date)”; and removing from paragraph (a) “In order to” and adding “To” in its place.
5. Amend 552.237-73 by revising the date of the clause to read “(Date)”; and removing from paragraph (b) “individual” and adding “entity” in its place.
