ITEM DESCRIPTIONS

ITEM A1 -- Head of Contracting Activity (HCA) Authority and Designation of Procuring Activities

AFFARS 5301.601-91(b), 5306.304(a)(2)(i) and 5319.201 are revised to reflect (i) the decision to rescind delegation of general contracting authority to Air Intelligence Agency (AIA) and (ii) the redesignation of the 11th Support Wing as the 11th Wing.

ITEM A2 -- Clearance Process

a. 5301.9006-5 is updated to reflect designation of BMO/PK as SMC Detachment 10/PK.

b. 5301.9006-6 is revised to remove coverage that is redundant with 5301.9003-2(f) and to clarify the requirements for command supplements regarding the clearance process.

2 May 12, 1995 AFAC 92-47

d. 5301.9012-1(a) is revised to establish the Business Clearance Review Authority (BCRA) as the authority for directing contract clearance of competitive awards. 5301.9012-1(b) is also clarified.

e. Table 5301-1, footnote number is revised to allow HQ AFMC/PK to delegate Business Clearance Review Authority on competitive as well as non-competitive actions. Footnote number 4 is revised to remove an inconsistency with 5301.9006-7(a).

f. 5302.101, the definition of "Other Contacting" is revised to delete the statement that the DAC may designate other contracting efforts as "Other Programs" for purposes of contract clearance.

ITEM A3 -- Acquisition of Utility Services

As a result of FAR changes published in FAC 90-23 regarding utility services, AFFARS Subpart 5308.3 is deleted and a new Part 5341 is established to include Subpart 5341.2, Acquiring Utility Services, and Subsection 5341.205, Delegation of Contracting Authority. The purpose of 5341.205 is to delegate contracting authority for utility services to the major commands, FOAs and DRUs.

ITEM A4 -- Imprest Funds

AFFARS Subpart 5313.4 is revised to clarify Air Force contracting office responsibility for oversight and control of imprest fund cashiers and for the oversight and control of imprest funds for deployed units and at isolated activities.

ITEM A5 -- Courtesy Contracting of Foreign End Products

AFFARS Section 5325.190 is revised to reflect current activity designations for courtesy contracting of foreign end products. For foreign end products in Europe, HQ USAFE/LGCK is identified as the focal point to identify appropriate overseas activities.

ITEM A6 -- Base Contract Funding

AFFARS Section 5332.790 is revised to clarify procedures for issuing solicitations under AFFARS 5332.790(b). Paragraph 5332.790(c) is added to provide permanent coverage for executing facilities project requirements. Previously, coverage was provided by message AFAC each year.

ITEM A7 -- Special Termination Cost Clauses

AFFARS Section 5349.501-70 is revised to require submittal of requests to include the clause at DFARS 252.249-7000, Special Termination Costs, at least 60 days in advance of its intended use. This is necessary to enable Congressional notification as required by the Senate Appropriations Committee.

ITEM A8 -- Update to Air Force Regulation Cites

As a result of the Air Force policy initiative to replace the extensive system of Air Force Regulations with more succinct policy directives and implementation instructions, documents referenced throughout the AFFARS have been replaced or eliminated. THis is the first installment of AFFARS updates to reflect the current document numbers. We plan to update the remaining cites in the next AFFARS change.

(5) Information needed for planning purposes pursuant to FAR 15.405; or

(6) Requirements under paragraphs (b) or (c) below.

(b) When a purchase request is for one of the requirements listed in (b)(1) thru (4), the base contracting activity may issue a solicitation, receive and open offers, and prepare final award documents (including contract clearance, if required). However, the contract shall not be signed by the contracting officer; delivered to the contractor; nor will the contractor be notified that it has been awarded a contract until funds have been certified by the accountable AFO. Since contract award will not be made subject to the availability of funds, the procedure and clause prescribed at FAR 32.703-2(a) shall not be used. If additive or deductive items are included in the bid schedule, the contracting officer shall determine the amount of available funds before bid opening.

* * * * *

(2)[] Construction to be commenced in the next fiscal year, if the approving authority certifies that the requirement has a high enough priority to ensure that it will not be cancelled when the next FY funds become available. Current FY funds may be used if they become available before the end of the FY and the contract can be obligated as required by AFR 170-8;

* * * * *

(c) The MAJCOM Civil Engineer, Director of Contracting, and Comptroller may jointly agree in writing to authorize base contracting activities to issue solicitations for facility project requirements when it is anticipated that the contract will be awarded in the current fiscal year but funds are not yet available. Use of this authority is subject to the following

(1) MAJCOMs should carefully consider the use of this authority. It should only be used for non-complex projects for which estimated bid or proposal preparation costs are relatively low in relation to the estimated cost of the project. Also, MAJCOMs should consider imposing a limit on either the project value or the aggregate value of all projects solicited using this procedure.

(2) Projects that may be solicited under this authority include those for maintenance, repair and minor construction, facility O&M projects, and environmental restoration and compliance projects, which the MAJCOM civil engineer has reviewed, verified as a bona-fide need, and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the project will be funded in the annual year-end program.

(3) MAJCOM Civil Engineering and Comptroller offices will identify to Contracting the projects selected to be solicited under this authority, in adequate time to permit solicitation and processing. MAJCOM Contracting, Comptroller and Civil Engineering shall establish a reasonable cutoff date for cancellation of solicitations, in order to have time to open the offers and process the contract award before the end of the FY.

(4) Solicitations may not be opened until the funds certifying official either certifies that funds are available, or notifies the contracting officer that there is reasonable assurance that funds will be available after opening. If a reasonable assurance notification is received from the funds certifying official, the solicitation may be opened and processed up to the point of award. However, the contract shall not be signed by the contracting officer; delivered to the contractor; nor will the contractor be notified that it has been awarded a contract until funds have been certified by the accountable AFO. If funds or a reasonable assurance notification cannot be provided by the established cutoff date, the solicitation will be canceled before opening.

(5) Solicitations issued under this authority shall contain a notice on the cover sheet and in Section L as follows:
