Jkt 244001
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On November 19, 2009, a final rule
was published in the Federal Register at
74 FR 59914, which amended the
Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation
Supplement (DFARS) subpart 208.6 to
implement Section 827 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2008, Public Law 110–181. Section
827 changed DoD competition
requirements for purchases from Federal
Prison Industries, Inc. (FPI) by requiring
DoD to publish an annual list of product
categories for which FPI’s share of the
DoD market was greater than five
percent, based on the most recent fiscal
year data available. Product categories
on the current list, and the products
within each identified product category,
must be procured using competitive or
fair opportunity procedures in
accordance with DFARS 208.602–70.
The Director, Defense Procurement
and Acquisition Policy (DPAP), issued a
memorandum dated March 27, 2018,
that provided the current list of product
categories for which FPI’s share of the
DoD market is greater than five percent
based on fiscal year 2015 data from the
Federal Procurement Data System. The
product categories to be competed
effective April 27, 2018, are the
following:
• 7125 (Cabinets, Lockers, Bins, and
Shelving)
• 7230 (Draperies, Awnings, and
Shades)
• 8405 (Outerwear, Men’s)
• 8420 (Underwear and Nightwear,
Mend’s)
The DPAP memorandum with the
current list of product categories for
which FPI has a significant market share
is posted at: https://www.acq.osd.mil/
dpap/cpic/cp/specific_policy_
areas.html#federal_prison.
The statute, as implemented, also
requires DoD to—
(1) Include FPI in the solicitation
process for these items. A timely offer
from FPI must be considered and award
procedures must be followed in
accordance with existing policy at
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
8.602(a)(4)(ii) through (v);
(2) Continue to conduct acquisitions,
in accordance with FAR subpart 8.6, for
items from product categories for which
FPI does not have a significant market
share. FAR 8.602 requires agencies to
conduct market research and make a
written comparability determination, at
the discretion of the contracting officer.
Competitive (or fair opportunity)
procedures are appropriate if the FPI
product is not comparable in terms of
price, quality, or time of delivery; and
(3) Modify the published list if DoD
subsequently determines that new data
PO 00000

requires adding or omitting a product

ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) is preparing an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
to analyze the direct, indirect, and
cumulative effects of a proposed water
supply project, the Cedar Ridge

intended to provide approximately
34,400 acre-feet of new reliable water
supply to address additional water
supply needs. The Cedar Ridge Project
would be a non-federal project
constructed, owned, and operated by
the City of Abilene.
DATES: A public scoping meeting will be
held May 16, 2018, 4:00 to 8:00 p.m., in
Abilene, TX.
