Title: Amendments Related to Sources of Electronic Parts (DFARS Case 2016-D013) | |
Abstract:
DoD is issuing a final rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement to implement section 885(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016, which amends section 818(c)(3)(D)(iii) of the NDAA for FY 2012, which makes contractor and subcontractor identification and use of contractor-approved distributors subject to approval (as well as review and audit) by appropriate DoD officials. Contractors are only allowed to use contractor-approved suppliers when electronic parts are not in production by the original manufacturer or an authorized aftermarket manufacturer, and are not currently available in stock from a the original manufacturer, their authorized suppliers; or suppliers that obtain such parts exclusively from the original manufacturers of the parts or their authorized suppliers. The contractor may proceed with the acquisition of electronic parts from a contractor-approved supplier unless otherwise notified by DoD. Five respondents submitted comments on the proposed rule, which resulted in one clarification in the final rule. This rule could have some cost impact on contractors, including small entities, if a contractor-approved supplier is disapproved by DoD, but this would only occur if DoD had identified substantial risk of counterfeit parts from such supplier. DoD shares the desire of the contractors to avoid significant schedule delays and cost increases, which would result in impairment of operational readiness. |
