IAEMOD-15734 /IAEPOL-28

The 2019 NDAA requires that DoD deploy a pilot program that allows the Department to count Employers of Persons with Disabilities toward small disadvantaged business goals at both the contract and subcontract levels.



FPDS will need to be able to collect the new value selection called DFARS 226.72 Demo Project


Collect data for DoD Pilot Program per NDAA for Eligible Employers of Persons with Disabilities.


This is a change request to add the new value "DFARS 226.72 Demo Project" (Code: DDP) to the existing Data Element 10M ‘Solicitation Procedures’.

This new value will establish two new ‘Validation Rules’ with a start date of 10/01/2022.

Rule CodeMessage
10M14If Solicitation Procedures is ‘DFARS 226.72 Demo Project’, then the ‘Extent Competed’ must be ‘Not Available for Competition’.
10M15If Solicitation Procedures is ‘DFARS 226.72 Demo Project’, then the "Contracting Office Agency ID" must be 9700 (DOD).
10M16If Solicitation Procedures is ‘DFARS 226.72 Demo Project’, then the ‘Date Signed’ must be on or after 10/1/2022.


Additionally, existing validation rules below will be updated for rule codes :

  • DOD10U01 – If Local Area Set Aside is yes, then Solicitation Procedures cannot be 'Only One Source' or ‘DFARS 226.72 Demo Project’.
  • DOD10M03A – If "Solicitation Procedures" is 'Only One Source' or ‘DFARS 226.72 Demo Project’ and "Type of Set Aside" is '8(a) Sole Source', 'HUBZone Sole Source' or 'SDVOSB Sole Source', 'Veteran Sole Source', 'Women Owned Small Business Sole Source', or 'Economically Disadvantaged Women Owned Small Business Sole Source' then "Other than Full and Open Competition" must be 'Authorized by Statute'.
  • DOD10C01 – If Solicitation Procedure is ‘Only One Source’ or ‘DFARS 226.72 Demo Project’ then Other Than Full and Open Competition cannot be blank.
  • DOD10C04A – If “Other than Full and Open Competition” is ‘Authorized by Statute’ or ‘Authorized Resale’, then “Solicitation Procedures” must be ‘Only One Source’, or ‘DFARS 226.72 Demo Project’, or ‘Simplified Acquisition’.
Yes

IAEMOD-16014

Defect: Product Service Codes that start with a number and also contain an alpha character are not recognized as a product, causing incorrect behavior of Validation Rule 6T07.

This defect is allowing users to approve contracts with both a PSC for a product (such as 7A20) and an IGF value.

IGF rule incorrectly does not fire when PSC is for a product code but contains an alpha character.


This is a defect fix to correct the logic of Validation Rule 6T07 (below) so it will fire properly on a contract when Product/Service Code starts with a number but also contains an alpha character and IGF has a value. This rule was added in SP17 so it has an effective date of 4/29/2023.

  • Rule 6T07: When PSC is a Product or PSC = R497, then “Inherently Governmental Functions” value must be blank.
Yes
