Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 215 / Wednesday, November 7, 2007 / Rules and Regulations
provide greater flexibilities for
contracting officers when selecting
sources of pricing data.
DATES: Effective Date: December 7, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Ernest Woodson, Procurement Analyst,
at (202) 501–3775 for clarification of
content. The TTY Federal Relay Number
for further information is 1–800–877–
8973. For information pertaining to
status or publication schedules, contact
the FAR Secretariat at (202) 501–4755.
Please cite FAC 2005–21, FAR case
2007–001.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
FAR 22.404–12(c)(2) allows the
contracting officer to include in the
contract a separately specified pricing
method that permits an adjustment to
the contract price or contract labor unit
price at the exercise of each option to
extend the term of the contract.
References to published pricing sources
are included to assist the contracting
officer in identifying pricing data to
support the pricing method used to
calculate the contract pricing
adjustment. This final rule revises the
language at FAR 22.404–12(c)(2) that
references published pricing sources
available to the contracting officer. The
FAR currently references a single
commercial product and the intent of
this change is to not show favor to any
commercial product. The revised
language deletes the specified product
and allows the contracting officer to
choose any commercial product.
This is not a significant regulatory
action and, therefore, was not subject to
review under Section 6(b) of Executive
Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and
Review, dated September 30, 1993. This
rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C.
804.
