Final rule.
DoD is making technical amendments to the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to provide needed editorial changes.
Effective March 22, 2023.
Jennifer D. Johnson, telephone 703-717-8226.
This final rule makes the following changes:
1. A final rule published at 88 FR 6578 on January 31, 2023, provided an incorrect reference at amendatory instruction 149 by citing “242.205-71” in lieu of “243.205-71”. This rule provides the correct amendatory instruction.
2. This rule amends section 252.215-7009, Proposal Adequacy Checklist, at item 18 in the column entitled “Submission item” in the introductory text and paragraph a by updating terminology referencing commercial products.
Jennifer D. Johnson,
Editor/Publisher, Defense Acquisition Regulations System.
Therefore, 48 CFR parts 243 and 252 are amended as follows:
1. The authority citation for 48 CFR parts 243 and 252 continues to read as follows:
2. Amend section 243.205-71 by removing “commercial items” and adding “commercial products and commercial services” in its place.
3. Amend section 252.215-7009—
a. By revising the provision date; and
b. In the provision checklist table by revising reference number 18.
The revisions read as follows:
