Summary: The commenter recommends specific updates to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), including the addition of an award notice definition and requiring both NAICS and PSC codes in certain sections. The commenter argues these changes would improve clarity and better distinguish between industry identification and work acquisition.
1. Recommendation: Include the definition of an award notice at FAR 5.001.
Rationale: A definition is not included in FAR 2.101 and there is a definition of presolicitation notice at 5.001.
2. Recommendation: 5.101(c)(3) requires inclusion of NAICS or PSC. Both should be required.
Rationale: NAICS and PSC serve different purposes. One discusses the industry while the other discusses the work being acquired. NAICS codes are used to help identify small business concerns and PSC is not.
