Commerciality Considerations of DoW’s Memo on “Transforming the Defense Acquisition System into Warfighting Acquisition"
On November 7th, the Department of War released a memorandum outlining its initiative to “Transform the Defense Acquisition System into the Warfighting Acquisition System.”
Join the Coalition on January 29th from 12:00 – 1:00pm EST for a presentation by Peter Terenzio of Covington and Mike Tomaselli of Chess Consulting as they examine the memo’s major themes and the implications for government contractors. The session will include a focused discussion on the regulatory framework governing commercial contracting, given the memorandum’s emphasis on expanding the defense industrial base through a “commercial first” strategy. Topics will include:
• Key themes and objectives identified in the memo
• FAR Part 12 vs. FAR Part 15 (commercial vs. negotiated acquisitions)
• Definitions of commerciality under FAR 2.101
• Commercial item determinations and DCMA’s role
• Alignment with the FAR Overhaul and proposed CAS changes
