SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Summaries for each FAR rule follow. For the
actual revisions and/or amendments made by these FAR rules, refer to
the specific item numbers and subjects set forth in the documents
following these summaries. FAC 2024-03 amends the FAR as follows:
Item I--Certification of Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small
Businesses (FAR Case 2022-009)
This interim rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation to
implement the Governmentwide certification requirement for service-
disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) concerns seeking sole-
source and set-aside awards under the SDVOSB Program. Beginning January
1, 2024, SDVOSB concerns must either be certified by the Small Business
Administration (SBA), or have both submitted an application for
certification to SBA on or before December 31, 2023, and represented
that it is an SDVOSB in the System for Award Management (SAM), in order
to be eligible for sole-source or set-aside awards under the SDVOSB
Program. This rule also requires that an SDVOSB concern update its
status in the System for Award Management no later than two days after
the date of a final determination that the concern does not meet the
requirements of the status the concern claims to hold, and provides new
SDVOSB protest and appeal procedures. The interim rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
because the rule simply implements the requirements of SBA's
regulations and does not impose any additional compliance burden on
entities.
Item II--Trade Agreements Thresholds (FAR Case 2023-012)
This final rule amends the FAR to adjust the thresholds for
application of the World Trade Organization Government Procurement
Agreement and the Free Trade Agreements as determined by the United
States Trade Representative, according to predetermined formulae under
the agreements.
