Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement; Technical 
Amendments

AGENCY: Defense Acquisition Regulations System, Department of Defense 
(DoD).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: DoD is making technical amendments to the Defense Federal 
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to provide needed editorial 
changes.

DATES: Effective June 7, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Jennifer L. Hawes, Defense

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final rule amends the DFARS as 
follows--
    1. Directs contracting officers to DFARS Procedures, Guidance, and 
Information (PGI) for information on the Governmentwide moratorium on 
public-private competitions by adding a cross reference at DFARS 
207.302 and 237.102(b);
    2. Corrects a typographical error at DFARS 209.505-4(b)(ii);
    3. Updates hyperlinks to information on passive radio frequency

    4. Corrects a threshold at DFARS 215.408(3)(ii)(A)(1)(i) to reflect

the inflation adjustment at DFARS Case 2014-D025 published in the 
Federal Register at 80 FR 36903;
    5. Updates DFARS 237.102-75 to reference the ``Defense Acquisition

Requirements Roadmap Tool'' instead of the ``Automated Requirements 
Roadmap Tool;''
    7. Corrects a cross reference at DFARS 242.7202(a) by changing 
paragraph (e) to paragraph (d) of the clause at 252.242.7004; and
    8. Corrects a cross reference at DFARS 245.102(4)(i) by changing
