3569. FAR CASE 99-303, TASK ORDER AND DELIVERY ORDER CONTRACTS

Agency:

Department of Defense/General Services Administration/National Aeronautics and Space Administration (FAR)

Priority:

Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:

40 USC 486(c); 10 USC 137; 42 USC 2473(c)

CFR Citation: (To search for a specific CFR, visit the Code of Federal Regulations.)

48 CFR 2; 48 CFR 16

Legal Deadline:

None

Abstract:

This rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to further strengthen that policy and the implementation of subsection 804(a) and (b) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000 in several ways. With respect to acquisition planning, the rule draws greater attention to the capital planning requirements of the Clinger-Cohen Act (40 U.S.C. 1422) and ensures more deliberation by agency acquisition planners before orders are placed under a Governmentwide acquisition contract, a task-order or delivery-order contract issued by another agency, or the multiple award schedules program. With respect to the structuring of orders and the consideration given to contract holders prior to order placement, the rule (1) increases attention to modular contracting principles to help agencies avoid unnecessarily large and inadequately defined orders, (2) facilitates information exchange during the fair opportunity process so that contractors may develop and propose solutions that enable the Government to award performance-based orders, and (3) revises existing documentation requirements to address best value tradeoff decisions, as well as the issuance of sole-source orders as logical follow-ons to orders already issued under the contract. This regulatory action is not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993, and is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.

Executive Order (EO) 13202, Preservation of Open Competition and Government Neutrality Towards Government Contractors' Labor Relations on Federal and Federally Funded Construction Projects, which prohibits including requirements for affiliation with a labor organization as a condition for award of any contract or subcontract for construction or construction management services, is currently the subject of litigation in the Federal courts. The district court agreed with the AFL-CIO's contention that the Labor Relations Act preempts the E.O. and granted an injunction against implementation of the E.O. An appeal of this decision is pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Pending resolution of this litigation, a stay for the interim rule was published in the Federal Register on March 7, 2002, to comply with the court order. This regulatory action was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993. This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
