Class Deviation 2017-O0009 - Products and Services from the African Host Nation-Djibouti

Status: Active

Date Issued: 2017-09-15

Scope: All DoD contracting officers

Applies to DAF/Air Force: Yes

Authority: Section 899A of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Pub. L. 114-328)

Summary

This deviation implements NDAA FY2017 section 899A, which authorizes Department of Defense (DoD) to limit competition to, or provide a preference for, products and services from Djibouti. Contracting Officers (COs) may use these authorities without a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.3 justification and approval or the Balance of Payments Program. New Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement policy sections and three new clauses support the authority.

Required Contracting Officer Actions

  1. Before using a procedure under 225.7798-3(a), prepare and execute a written determination per 225.7798-4. COs sign individual determinations for acquisitions under $93 million.
  2. Use provision 252.225-7985 in solicitations that also include clause 252.225-7986 and insert the USAFRICOM price evaluation factor in paragraph (d).
  3. Use clause 252.225-7986 in solicitations and contracts that provide a preference for Djibouti products or services under 225.7798-3(a)(2).
  4. Use clause 252.225-7977 in solicitations and contracts that limit competition to Djibouti products or services under 225.7798-3(a)(1).
  5. Do not use 252.225-7000, 252.225-7001, 252.225-7002, 252.225-7035, 252.225-7036, 252.225-7044 or 252.225-7045 in solicitations or contracts that include 252.225-7985, 252.225-7986 or 252.225-7977.
  6. Do not use 252.225-7020 or 252.225-7021 in solicitations or contracts that include 252.225-7977.
  7. Include the written determination in the contract file. For class determinations, document each action and confirm it falls within the class determination scope.
  8. When evaluating offers under 252.225-7985, apply the evaluation procedures at 225.7798-5 instead of FAR 25.502(c) procedures.
  9. Do not apply FAR subpart 25.4 trade agreement procedures when using a competition-limiting procedure under 225.7798-3(a)(1) for acquisitions supporting DoD activities in Djibouti.
