DoD issued a final rule to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation System (DFARS) to implement section 811 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 (Pub. L. 112-239). Section 811(a), requires DoD to modify the acquisition regulations to prohibit DoD from entering into cost-type contracts for the production of major defense acquisition programs (MDAPs), in contracts entered into on or after October 1, 2014, with one exception, which is set forth in section 811(b) of the NDAA for FY 2013. Small entities are not expected to be directly affected by this rule as it establishes policy and sets parameters for DoD contracting officers concerning selection of appropriate contract types when entering into contracts for the production of major defense acquisition programs.
