(a) This Chapter 13 has been allocated to the Department of Commerce for implementing, supplementing and deviating from Chapter 1 of Title 41 CFR. (b) Where the DOCPR implements or deviates from a part, subpart, section, or subsection of the FPR, the DOCPR part, subpart, section, or subsection will be numbered and captioned to correspond to the part, subpart, section, or subsection of Chapter 1, of Title 41 CFR. (c) Where the subject matter contained in a part, subpart, section, or subsection of FPR requires no further implementation, the DOCPR will contain no corresponding part, subpart, section, or subsection number and the subject matter as published in the FPR governs. (d) DOCPR's which supplement the FPR will be assigned an appropriate number and title different from any assigned to an FPR. 8 13-1.009-2 Procedure. (a) Deviations in both individual cases and classes of cases must be authorized in advance by the Director, Office of Procurement and Automatic Data Processing Management (OP&ADPM). Requests for such authorization may be initiated by the heads of operating units or by the heads of their procuring activities. Requests shall: Cite the specific parts of the FPR or DOCPR from which it is desired to deviate; provide a full description of the deviation; indicate the circumstances which will require use of the deviation; and give detailed reasons supporting the action requested. (b) Where the deviation applies to a class of cases, authorization will be subject to prior coordination with the General Services Administration by the Office of Procurement and Automatic Data Processing Management unless, in the considered judgment of the Director (OP&ADPM), and with due regard to the objective of uniformity, circumstances preclude such coordination. In such an instance, the Office of Procurement and Automatic Data Processing Management shall inform the GSA of the deviation and circumstances under which it was required. (c) Authorization will be by memorandum addressed to the requesting officer with copies to any other interested offices. The contract file(s) of the requesting office shall include a 8 13-1.007–3 Citation. DOCPR will be cited in accordance with FEDERAL REGISTER standards approved for the FPR. Thus this section, when referred to in sections of the DOCPR, should be cited as “g 131.007-3 of this chapter.” When this section is referred to formally in official documents, such as legal briefs, it should be cited as “41 CFR 13-1.0073." Any section of DOCPR may be in formally identified, for purposes of brevity, as DOCPR followed by the section number, i.e., "DOCPR 131.007-3." |
