Federal Acquisition Regulation; No-Cost Value Engineering Change Proposals

The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council have agreed to convert the interim rule published as Item X of Federal Acquisition Circular 97-05 at 63 FR 34078, June 22, 1998, to a final rule without change. The rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to clarify that no-cost value engineering change proposals (VECPs) may be used when, in the contracting officer's judgment, reliance on other VECP approaches likely would not be more cost-effective, and the no-cost settlement would provide adequate consideration to the Government.
