SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Summaries for each FAR rule follow. For the
actual revisions and/or amendments to these FAR cases, refer to the
specific item number and subject set forth in the documents following
these item summaries.
FAC 2005-11 amends the FAR as specified below:
Item I--Earned Value Management System (EVMS) (FAR Case 2004-019)
This final rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation to
implement Earned Value Management System (EVMS) policy in accordance
with OMB Circular A-11, Part 7 and the supplement to Part 7, the
Capital Planning Guide. The FAR will require the use of an EVM System
that complies with the guidelines of ANSI/EIA Standard - 748, in major
acquisitions for development, and in other acquisitions in accordance
with agency procedures. An agency shall conduct an Integrated Baseline
Review (IBR) when EVMS is required. Offerors shall not be eliminated
from consideration for contract award because they do not have an EVMS
that is compliant with the ANSI/EIA standards, provided they submit an
EVMS implementation plan with their proposal.
Item II--Emergency Acquisitions (FAR Case 2005-038)
This interim rule revises FAR Part 18 to provide a single reference
to acquisition flexibilities that may be used during emergency
situations. This change is expected to improve the Government's ability
to expedite acquisition of supplies and services during emergency
situations. The FAR Part 18 makes no change to existing contracting
policy.
