Federal Acquisition Regulation; Subcontract Consent

The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to reduce the consent to subcontract requirements. The rule eliminates the requirement for consent to subcontract when there is an approved purchasing system, unless specifically required by the contracting officer. The rule also eliminates the consent requirement for fixed-price incentive contracts, and increases the threshold for the requirement on time-and-material contracts to the same level as other covered subcontracts. This regulatory action was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993. This is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
