Federal Acquisition Regulation; Government Property

The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to simplify procedures, reduce recordkeeping, and eliminate requirements related to the management and disposition of Government property in the possession of contractors. In addition, this proposed rule provides contractors the option of managing Government property under a standard process based system or managing Government property using the same business practices the contractors use to manage their own property. Contractors may use either system at a particular site (primary location at which a contract will be performed) but must use only one system at that site. Contractors that elect to use their property management practices to manage the Government's property in lieu of the standard processes must accept increased liability for property losses. Based on the significant changes made to this rule from an earlier proposed rule, the Councils have agreed to republish the rule as a proposed rule and provide an opportunity for the public to comment on the changes.
