Item I—Updates to Contract Reporting

GSA, DOD, and NASA published a
proposed rule in the Federal Register at

revise the practice for and limit the use
of generic Data Universal Numbering
System (DUNS) Numbers, update
policies on reporting into the Federal
Procurement Data System (FPDS), and
revise clauses for Central Contractor
Registration (CCR) and DUNS Number
reporting. The rule increases
transparency by reducing the use of
generic DUNs, but may require more
small businesses to register in CCR. The
rule clarifies that non-appropriated fund
awards will generally not be included in
FPDS. The rule also clarifies
requirements for agencies to submit and
review contract action reports in FPDS.

This rule uses the existing term ‘‘Central
Contractor Registration’’ rather than
‘‘System for Award Management,’’
because FAR Case 2012–033 will
address the terminology update to
‘‘System for Award Management’’
throughout the FAR.
Item II—Interagency Acquisitions:
Compliance by Nondefense Agencies
With Defense Procurement
Requirements (FAR Case 2012–010)
This interim rule amends the FAR to
implement section 801 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2008 (Pub. L. 110–181), as

801 requires compliance certifications
by non-defense agencies that purchase
on behalf of DoD, and clarifies which
DoD laws and regulations apply. The
agencies must comply with new FAR
subpart 17.7, in addition to complying
with FAR subpart 17.5. To provide
clarification for small business and
contracting officers, existing policy for
small business goal credit for assisted
acquisitions is added to section FAR
4.603(c).
