Summary: The commenter provides technical corrections regarding incorrect Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) citations within specific sections of FAR Part 11. They note that while the proposed actions do not change Part 11, several citations listed in the regulation are outdated and should be updated to reflect the post-RFO FAR.
None of the FAR Cases 2026-005, 2026-001, 2026-007, or 2026-002 makes any changes to FAR Part 11. However, note that FAR 11.204(a)(2), 11.204(b), and 11.204(c) list the following incorrect FAR cites pertaining to items peculiar to one manufacturer. These cites were the correct cites for the pre-RFO FAR, but they are no longer correct.
(a)(2)(i) 6.302-1 for the authority to contract without providing for full and open competition. The correct cite for the post-RFO FAR is 6.103-1.
(a)(2)(ii) 13.106-1(b) and 13.501 for the basis or justification for not providing for maximum practicable competition for simplified acquisitions. The correct cites for the post-RFO FAR are 12.102 for commercial products and services and 13.101(b) for non-commercial products and services.
(b) 8.405-6 for multiple award schedule orders. There is no 8.405-6 in the post-RFO FAR. GSAM 538.7104-4 addresses items peculiar to one manufacturer for such orders.
(c) 16.505(a)(4) for orders under indefinite-quantity contracts. The correct cite for the post-RFO FAR is 16.507-7.
