SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The current Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) definition of “commercial item” in FAR part 2 was established by FAR case 94-790, Acquisition of Commercial Items, published at 60 FR 48231 on September 18, 1995, which implemented the revised statutory authorities in Title VIII of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-355).

DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to amend the FAR definition of “commercial item” to implement section 836 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 (Pub. L. 115-232). This section separates the definition of “commercial item” at 41 U.S.C. 103 into the definitions of “commercial product” and “commercial service,” at 41 U.S.C. 103 and 103a. Section 836 sets the effective date of the new definitions as January 1, 2020.

Splitting the definition of “commercial item” into the definitions of “commercial product” and “commercial service” was a recommendation made by the independent panel created by section 809 of the NDAA for FY 2016 (Pub. L. 114-92). The panel was created to review and improve the functioning of the defense acquisition system, and eliminate any regulations found unnecessary to achieve such improvements. The panel recommended the splitting of the definition of “commercial item” to better “reflect the significant roles services and commercial services play today in the DoD procurement budget.” See recommendation on pages 29 to 30 of Volume 1 of 3 dated January 2018 of the Report of the Advisory Panel on Streamlining and Codifying Acquisition Regulations, available via the internet at https://section809panel.org/​wp-content/​uploads/​2018/​04/​Sec809Panel_​Vol1-Report_​Jan18_​REVISED_​2018-03-14.pdf.

This change resolves the issue the Section 809 Panel cites, which is that the “acquisition workforce has faced issues with inconsistent interpretations of policy, confusion over how to identify eligible commercial products and services”. Bifurcating the definition of “commercial item” into “commercial product” and “commercial service” is a way to provide clarity for the acquisition workforce, which may result in greater engagement with the commercial marketplace.

It is important to note, the amendment to separate “commercial item” with “commercial product” and “commercial service” does not expand or shrink the universe of products or services that the Government may procure using FAR part 12, nor does it change the terms and conditions vendors must comply with.

II. Discussion and Analysis

As required by section 836 of the NDAA for FY 2019, DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to replace instances of commercial item(s) with commercial product(s), commercial service(s), or both commercial product(s) and commercial service(s). The following summarizes the proposed changes to the FAR:

1. Removed from FAR part 2 the definition of “commercial item” and replaced it with the definitions of “commercial product,” and “commercial service” from the NDAA with only the minor revisions for clarification currently in the FAR definition of “commercial item.” The clarification in paragraph 3(ii) of the proposed definition of “commercial product” has been in FAR part 2 since the definition of “commercial item” was incorporated by FAR case 94-790, Acquisition of Commercial Items, in 1995. Paragraphs 2(i) and 2(ii) of the proposed definition of “commercial service” are also long standing; they stem from a FAR change published October 22, 2001, which was revised slightly in a FAR change published June 18, 2004.

2. Replaced all instances of “non-commercial” and “noncommercial” with “other than commercial” as it relates to this rule. This is an editorial change and will provide consistent language throughout the FAR.

3. Removed FAR 12.102(g), and a corresponding reference at FAR 37.601(c), as obsolete. FAR 12.102(g) only applies to contracts or orders entered into before November 23, 2013.

4. Added the definition of “established price” at FAR 16.001 to be consistent with the term as defined at the FAR clauses at FAR 52.216-2, Economic Price Adjustment—Standard Supplies, and 52.216-3, Economic Price Adjustment-Semistandard Supplies. This is an editorial change for consistency to have the definition in both the clause and the corresponding FAR part.

5. Made conforming changes to cross references, and the following Standard Forms (SF): SF 294, Subcontracting Report for Individual Contracts; SF 1443, Contractor's Request for Progress Payment; and SF 1449, Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial Items. These forms are managed by the FAR Council and were identified as containing the term “commercial item.” This rule proposes to replace each instance of the term with “commercial product” or “commercial service” as appropriate. Also minor editorial changes were made as needed throughout the FAR. These revisions do not impact terms and conditions of commercial contracts or how the Government procures commercial products or commercial services.

III. Applicability to Contracts at or Below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) and for Commercial Items, Including Commercially Available Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Items

This rule does not add any new solicitation provisions or contract clauses. This rule merely replaces the term “commercial item(s)” with “commercial product(s),” “commercial service(s),” “commercial product(s) or commercial service(s),” or “commercial product(s) and commercial service(s)” in the FAR including in part 52, as appropriate. It does not add any new burdens because the case does not add or change any requirements with which vendors must comply.

IV. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563

Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). E.O. 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. This rule is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not subject to review under section 6(b) of E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993. This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.

V. Executive Order 13771

This rule is not subject to E.O. 13771, because this rule is not a significant regulatory action under E.O. 12866.

VI. Regulatory Flexibility Act

DoD, GSA, and NASA do not expect this proposed rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq. However, an Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA) has been performed and is summarized as follows:

DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to amend the FAR to change the definition of “commercial item” by splitting it into the definitions of “commercial product” and “commercial service.”

The objective is to implement section 836 of the John S. McCain NDAA for FY19 (Pub. L. 115-232). The legal basis for this rule is 40 U.S.C. 121(c), 10 U.S.C. chapter 137, and 51 U.S.C. 20113.

The proposed rule impacts all entities that do business with the Federal Government, including the over 327,458 small business registrants in the System for Award Management database. However, DoD, GSA, and NASA do not expect this proposed rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because the rule is not implementing any requirements with which small entities must comply. This proposed rule splits the definition of “commercial item” into the definitions of “commercial product” and “commercial service.” These revisions do not impact terms and conditions of commercial contracts or how the Government procures commercial products or commercial services; it is merely editorial.

The proposed rule does not include additional, or change any existing, reporting or record keeping requirements. The rule does not duplicate, overlap, or conflict with any other Federal rules. There are no available alternatives to the proposed rule to accomplish the desired objective of the statute.

The Regulatory Secretariat Division has submitted a copy of the IRFA to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration. A copy of the IRFA may be obtained from the Regulatory Secretariat Division. DoD, GSA and NASA invite comments from small business concerns and other interested parties on the expected impact of this rule on small entities.

DoD, GSA, and NASA will also consider comments from small entities concerning the existing regulations in subparts affected by this rule consistent with 5 U.S.C. 610. Interested parties must submit such comments separately and should cite 5 U.S.C. 610 (FAR Case 2018-018) in correspondence.

VII. Paperwork Reduction Act

The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) does apply; however, the proposed changes to the FAR and the updates to the information collections do not impose new information collection burden. The changes do not impose additional, or change any existing, information collection requirements to the paperwork burden previously approved under the following OMB Control Numbers: 9000-0007, Subcontracting Plans; 9000-0018, Certification Of Independent Price Determination, Contractor Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, and Preventing Personal Conflicts of Interest; 9000-0193, FAR Part 9 Responsibility Matters; 9000-0097, Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 4 Requirements; 9000-0136, Commercial Item Acquisitions; 9000-0034, Examination of Records by Comptroller General and Contract Audit; 9000-0013, Certified Cost or Pricing Data and Data Other Than Certified Cost or Pricing Data; 9000-0048, Authorized Negotiators and Integrity of Unit Prices; 9000-0010, Progress Payments, SF 1443; 9000-0024, Buy American, Trade Agreements, and Duty-Free Entry; 9000-0061, Transportation Requirements; 9000-0068, Economic Price Adjustment; 9000-0070, Payments; 9000-0138, Contract Financing; 9000-0188, Combating Trafficking in Persons; 9000-0197, Use of Products and Services of Kaspersky Lab; 9000-0198, Violations of Arms Control Treaties or Agreements; and 1615-0092, E-Verify Program.
