View Rule

DoD is issuing a final rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to provide policy and procedures for soliciting offers, evaluating proposals, and awarding contracts for the operation of a military dining facility pursuant to the Randolph-Sheppard Act(20 U.S.C. 107, et seq.). This final rule amends the DFARS to implement the Joint Report and Policy Statement (Joint Policy Statement) issued by DoD, the Department of Education, and the CFP pursuant to section 848 of the NDAA for FY 2006. Pursuant to the Joint Policy Statement, the Randolph-Sheppard Act applies to contracts for the operation of a military dining facility, also known as full food services, while the Committee for Purchase from People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled statute applies to contracts and subcontracts for dining support services (including mess attendant services).
