View Rule

DoD is issuing a final rule to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement to implement section 843 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022, which requires, prior to contract award for supply of fuel for any overseas contingency operation, that the responsible offeror not be disqualified based upon unsupported denial of access by the host nation, the offeror certifies that the fuel is not sourced from a prohibited nation or region and provides records to verify compliance with anticorruption statues and regulations.  The statute also requires contracting officers to use the tradeoff processes in Federal Acquisition Regulation part 15 to evaluate past performance, cost, anticorruption training, and compliance or submit justification to the Secretary prior to issuing the issuance of solicitation for overseas contingency operation fuel procurements.
