30448
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 94 / Monday, May 16, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
This rule implements section 814 of the
Carl Levin and Howard P. ‘Buck’ McKeon
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2015. Section 814 is entitled
Improvement in Defense Design-Build
Construction Process. Section 814 requires
the head of the contracting activity, delegable
to a level no lower than the senior
contracting official, to approve any
determinations to select more than five
offerors to submit phase-two proposals for a
two-phase design-build construction
acquisition that is valued at greater than $4
million.
No comments were received by the public
comments in response to the initial
regulatory flexibility analysis. The number of
design-build construction awards is not
currently tracked by the Federal
government’s business systems. In Fiscal
Year 2014, the Federal Government awarded
3,666 construction awards to 2,239 unique
small business vendors. It is unknown what
percentage of these contracts involved
design-build construction services.
This rule does not impose new
recordkeeping or reporting requirements. The
new approval requirement for advancing
more than five contractors to phase two of a
two-phase design-build selection procedure
only affects the internal operating procedures
of the Government. For acquisitions valued
over $4 million, the head of the contracting
activity (HCA) is required to now make a
determination that it is in the best interest of
the Government to select more than five
offerors to proceed to phase two. Any burden
caused by this rule is expected to be minimal
and will not be any greater on small
businesses than it is on large businesses.
No alternative approaches were
considered. The new approval requirement
for advancing more than five contractors to
phase two of a two-phase design-build
selection procedure only affects the internal
operating procedures of the Government. It is
not anticipated that the proposed rule will
have a significant economic impact on small
entities.
Interested parties may obtain a copy
of the FRFA from the Regulatory
Secretariat Division. The Regulatory
Secretariat Division has submitted a
copy of the FRFA to the Chief Counsel
for Advocacy of the Small Business
Administration.

number of offerors that will be selected
to submit phase-two proposals. The
maximum number specified in the
solicitation shall not exceed five unless
the contracting officer determines, for
that particular solicitation, that a
number greater than five is in the
Government’s interest and is consistent
with the purposes and objectives of the
two-phase design-build selection
procedures. The contracting officer shall
document this determination in the
contract file. For acquisitions greater
than $4 million, the determination shall
be approved by the head of the
contracting activity, delegable to a level
no lower than the senior contracting
official within the contracting activity.
In civilian agencies, for this paragraph
(a)(4), the senior contracting official is
the advocate for competition for the
procuring activity, unless the agency
designates a different position in agency
procedures. The approval shall be
documented in the contract file.
