Background This proposed rule revises procedures for use of Federal Supply Schedules and multiple award contracts to promote competition in the placement of orders for supplies or services. The proposed changes— • Revise approval requirements for placement of noncompetitive orders exceeding $100,000 under Federal Supply Schedules for consistency with those at FAR 8.405–6, and extend those requirements to orders under multiple award contracts; • Apply the same ordering procedures to both supplies and services; and • Make additional changes to DFARS Subpart 208.4 for consistency with the changes to FAR Subpart 8.4 published in Item V of Federal Acquisition Circular 2001–24 On June 18, 2004 (69 FR 34231). This rule was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993. B. Regulatory Flexibility Act This proposed rule is not expected 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., because the proposed changes strengthen and clarify existing requirements for competition in the placement of orders under Federal Supply Schedules and multiple award contracts. Therefore, DoD has not performed an initial regulatory E:\FR\FM\02JNP1.SGM 02JNP1
