For the actual revisions and/or
amendments made by these FAR cases,
refer to the specific item numbers and
subject set forth in the documents
following these item summaries. FAC
2005–58 amends the FAR as specified
below:
Item I—Biobased Procurements (FAR
Case 2010–004)
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2
This final rule amends the FAR to
implement changes that require
contractors to report the biobased
products purchased under service and
construction contracts. The Farm
Security and Rural Investment Act (7
U.S.C. 8102) requires agencies to report
this information to the Office of Federal
Procurement Policy. This reporting will
enable agencies to monitor compliance
with the Federal preference for
purchasing biobased products.
Contractors may need to create an
inventory management system to track
the biobased products purchased for
each contract. However, this rule may
enhance small business biobased
product suppliers’ participation in this
market.
Item II—Representation Regarding
Export of Sensitive Technology to Iran
(FAR Case 2010–018)
This final rule adopts, with minor
changes, an interim rule which added a
representation to implement section 106
of the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions,
Accountability, and Divestment Act of
2010. Section 106 imposes a
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
FAR case
procurement prohibition relating to
contracts with persons that export
certain sensitive technology to Iran.
This rule has no significant impact on
small business concerns.
Item III—Justification and Approval of
Sole-Source 8(a) Contracts (FAR Case
2009–038)
This rule adopts as final, without
change, an interim rule published in the
Federal Register at 76 FR 14559 on
March 16, 2011, which implemented
section 811 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010
(Pub. L. 111–84). Section 811 prohibits
the award of a sole-source contract in an
amount over $20 million under the 8(a)
program authority (15 U.S.C. 637(a))
without first obtaining a written
Justification and Approval (J&A)
approved by an appropriate official, and
making public the J&A and related
information. This internal Government
requirement for the development and
approval of a sole-source J&A for 8(a)
sole-source awards over $20 million
neither prohibits such awards nor
increases the qualifications required of
8(a) firms.
