OASA(ALT) bulletin, February 2004: Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation System (DFARS) clarification on foreign contracting.The Foreign Procurement The fancy word for "purchasing." The procurement department within an organization manages all the major purchases. Policy Committee is proposing a revision to DFARS DFARS Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement DFARS DoD Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement Subpart 225.72, Reporting Contract Performance Outside the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. . The purpose is to clarify the requirement to report foreign performance, not only after contract award but also 30 days before award, as part of the contracting process. 10 U.S.C. 2410g, passed in 1992, requires contractors to report to DoD on any intention to perform a DoD contract outside the United States and Canada, when the contract could be performed in the United States or Canada. GAO auditors continue to criticize the DOD for failing to comply with this statutory requirement. This clarification will be available for public comment soon.
