Jamaal Valentine Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Why is defense contracting so heavily regulated? What happened to improving the professionalism? "DoD is proposing to revise the DFARS to implement section 888(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 (Pub. L. 114-328). Section 888(a) requires that competition on DoD contracts not be limited through the use of brand name or equivalent descriptions, or proprietary specifications or standards, in solicitations, unless a justification for such specification is provided and approved in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(f). The requirements of 10 U.S.C. 2304(f) are implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) sections 6.303 and 6.304, which address the content, format, and approval authorities for justifications for other than full and open competition." https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/10/31/2018-23676/defense-federal-acquisition-regulation-supplement-brand-name-or-equal-dfars-case-2017-d040 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
