AGENCY:

Office of Acquisition Policy, General Services Administration (GSA).

ACTION:

Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY:

The General Services Administration (GSA) is issuing this final rule to amend the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to make a needed technical amendment. This technical amendment is to remove regulatory text regarding contract administration for exercising options that was incorrectly addressed in previous rulemaking.

DATES:

Effective: November 5, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This final rule amends the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to make needed technical amendments. Following internal procurement management reviews, GSA identified the need to improve certain credentialing administration processes for contractors. As a result, GSA amended the GSAR through GSAR Case 2020-G525 to clarify the personal identity verification requirements (86 FR 28499). Under this rule, language regarding contract administration for options was also removed from regulation as the language speaks to internal operating procedures. However, the amendatory instructions for the options language was noted incorrectly in the rule. This technical amendment corrects that mistake and removes section 517.207.
