View Rule

DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement section 839 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2019 which requires the FAR Council to review each past determination made not to exempt contracts and subcontracts for commercial products, commercial services, and commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) items from certain laws when these contracts would otherwise have been exempt under 41 U.S.C. 1906(d) or 41 U.S.C. 1907(b). A new determination is to be made whether to provide exemptions from those certain laws and if so, propose revisions to the FAR to reflect those exemptions. The law also requires the FAR Council to review the FAR to assess every regulation not based on law or Executive order that requires a specific clause in contracts for commercial products or commercial service sand propose to eliminate those regulations unless the FAR Council makes a new determination not to do so. It also requires an assessment of every regulation that requires a prime contractor to include a specific clause in subcontracts for commercially available off-the-shelf items, unless the clause is required by law or Executive order. Paragraph (c) also requires that revisions to the FAR be proposed to eliminate those regulations unless the FAR Council decides not to do so.
