Title: Contract Authority for Advanced Component Development or Prototype Units (DFARS Case 2009-D034) 
Abstract: This rule amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement to implement section 819 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 and placed limitations on certain types of line items and contract options that may be included in contracts initially awarded competitively. The intent was to prevent a contract for new technology that is initially awarded as a result of competition, from becoming a noncompetitive effort for the development of advance components or the procurement of prototype units. The DFARS implementation placed specific limits, in accordance with the statute, on the dollar value, period of performance, and time for exercise of contract line items or contract options for such contracts. Because the changes are to internal Government operating procedures, minimal, if any, economic impact is anticipated.
