Long Description

On January 5, 2001, the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and Technology) (USD (A&T)) issued a policy memorandum to provide immediate clarification on commercial acquisitions (see Appendix A). This updated Commercial Items Handbook Version 2.0 supersedes Version 1.0 dated November 2001 and is designed to assist contracting officers with the effective and efficient acquisition of commercial items. The Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) of 1994 focused on simplifying and reforming procurement laws. The 1996 Federal Acquisition Reform Act continued the intent of FASA, creating opportunities to improve procedures, promote competition, and purchase commercial items with the ease of non-governmental agencies.
