Federal Acquisition Regulation; Reform of Affirmative Action in Federal Procurement

Streszczenie

The Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration have agreed to issue Federal Acquisition Circular 97-08, as an interim rule to make amendments to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) concerning programs for small disadvantaged business (SDB) concerns. These amendments accommodate the use of the price evaluation adjustment for small disadvantaged business concerns in those Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Major Groups where eligibility has been determined by region. 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.
