Class Deviation
DFARS Part

This text is not in eCFR or DITA. It is extracted from the .docx attachment for Class Deviation 2026-O0002, which directs contracting officers to use it in place of the codified PGI. The parsed text is a convenience layer; the .docx attachment is authoritative.

The objectives of peer reviews are to—

(a) Ensure that DoD contracting officers are implementing policy and regulations in a consistent and appropriate manner;

(b) Continue to improve the quality of contracting processes throughout DoD; and

(c) Facilitate cross-sharing of best practices and lessons learned throughout DoD. DPCAP maintains a compilation of peer review lessons learned and best practices that is available at https://www.acq.osd.mil/asda/dpc/cp/policy/peer-reviews.html for competitive peer reviews and at https://www.acq.osd.mil/asda/dpc/pcf/ss-peer-reviews.html for noncompetitive peer reviews.
