[FR Doc. 2024–26053 Filed 11–14–24; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6001–FR–P GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION 48 CFR Parts 501, 552, and 570 BILLING CODE 6001–FR–P [GSAR Case 2020–G512; Docket No. 2024– 0010; Sequence No. 1] GSA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register at 89 FR 21230 on March 27, 2024, to amend the GSAR to create a SAM registration provision specific for the acquisitions of leasehold interests in real property. This provision was prompted by the implementation of FAR Case 2015–005 (see 83 FR 48691), which clarified the timing of registration in the System for Award Management (SAM). Effective October 2018, this FAR case implemented the requirement for an offeror to be registered in SAM prior to the submission of an offer as opposed to the offerer being registered prior to award as was previously followed before the FAR change. While leasing of real property is not subject to the FAR, GSA prescribed FAR clause 52.204–7 in solicitations for the lease of real property. It found this FAR amendment had a significant effect on prospective GSA lessors. On February 12, 2020, GSA established a GSA specific version of the FAR clause to permit the completion of SAM representation for leases prior to award instead of prior to offer for leasing companies. GSA would therefore only require the apparent awardee to complete the SAM registration. This change will codify this provision in the GSAR. II.
