View Rule

DoD is issuing a final rule to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to comply with the uniform procurement identification procedures implemented in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) through final rule 2012-023.  The FAR final rule, 2012-023, implemented a uniform award identification system among various procurement transactions across the Federal Government, as recommended by the Government Accountability and Transparency (GAT) Board. DFARS coverage of uniform procurement identification must be synchronized with the FAR coverage so that the identification numbers of DoD-issued contracts, orders and other procurement instruments will comply with FAR subpart 4.16 as amended by final rule 2012-023.
