Federal Acquisition Regulation; Competitive Range Determinations

The public comment period on the proposed rule which was published in the Federal Register at 61 FR 40116, July 31, 1996, is extended through November 19, 1996. The rule implements Sections 4101 and 4103 of the Federal Acquisition Reform Act of 1996 and relates to providing the contracting officer with the authority to limit the size of the competitive range, in accordance with criteria specified in the solicitation, to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition. The public comment period is extended to conform with the public comment period on the proposed rule for the FAR Part 15 Rewrite--Phase I, FAR Case 95-029, which was published in the Federal Register at 61 FR 48380, September 12, 1996. Since it is important to consider the proposed rule for FAR Case 96-303, Competitive Range Determinations, in the broader context of FAR Part 15 as a whole, we encourage interested parties to express their positions on this rule as part of the public meeting on the rewrite of FAR Part 15, Phase I.
