SUMMARY: The Director of Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy has 
suspended the use of the price evaluation adjustment for small 
disadvantaged businesses (SDBs) in DoD procurements, as required by 10 
U.S.C. 2323(e)(3), because DoD exceeded its 5 percent goal for contract 
awards to SDBs in fiscal year 2007. The suspension will be in effect 
for 1 year and will be reevaluated based on the level of DoD contract 
awards to SDBs achieved in fiscal year 2008.

DATES: Effective Date: March 10, 2008.
    Applicability Date: This suspension applies to all solicitations 
issued during the period from March 10, 2008, to March 9, 2009.

Washington, DC 20301-3015; telephone 703-697-8336; facsimile 703-614-
1254.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the authority granted in 10 
U.S.C. 2323(e), DoD has previously granted SDBs a 10 percent price 
preference in certain acquisitions. This price preference is 
implemented in Subpart 19.11 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. 
Section 801 of the Strom Thurmond National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 1999 (Pub. L. 105-261) amended 10 U.S.C. 2323(e)(3) to 
prohibit DoD from granting such a price preference for a 1-year period 
following a fiscal year in which DoD achieved the 5 percent goal for 
contract awards established in 10 U.S.C. 2323(a). Since, in fiscal year 
2007, DoD exceeded this 5 percent goal, use of this price preference in 
DoD acquisitions must be suspended for a 1-year period, from March 10, 
2008, to March 9, 2009.
