Proposed DFARS amendment would augment multi-year contract oversight

A proposed rule issued by the Defense Department would allow Congress to put DoD’s multi-year contracts on a shorter leash.

Federal RegisterThe proposal, which the Federal Register published Dec. 30, 2015 seeks to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and implement a requirement under the 2015 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

The proposal would require Congressional defense committees to be notified 30 days before a multi-year contract is terminated.

The NDAA also requires the DFARS to clarify that a multi-year contract can’t be entered into unless the Secretary of Defense certifies in writing no later than 30 days before the contract’s award that it meets certain requirements.
