The Department of Defense has issued an interim rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement section 814 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010. The effective date was July 13, 2010.
Section 814 prohibits the award of sole-sourced tasks or delivery orders that are estimated to exceed $100M. The DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on small firms because it does not impose any additional requirements on small businesses. The interim rule does, however, require the agency head to notify congressional defense committees within thirty days after making any determination regarding the sole-sourced award.
