AUTHORITY: The provisions of this Part 6-1 issued under sec. 205 (c), 63 Stat. 390, as amended, 40 U.S.C. 486 (c); sec. 4, 63 Stat. 111, 22 U.S.C. 2658.

Subpart 6-1.1-Introduction

SOURCE: The provisions of this Subpart 61.1 appear at 28 F.R. 7779, July 31, 1963, unless otherwise noted.

§ 6-1.101 Scope of subpart.

This subpart describes the Department of State Procurement Regulations in terms of establishment, relationship to the Federal Procurement Regulations (FPR), arrangement, applicability, and deviation procedure. Procurement procedures are integrated with the regulations so as to provide a complete, logical and comprehensive publication.

[blocks in formation]

This subpart establishes the Department of State Procurement Regulations (DOSPR) as Chapter 6 of the Federal Procurement Regulations System. § 6-1.103 Authority.

The DOSPR are prescribed by the Secretary of State pursuant to the Act of May 26, 1949 (63 Stat. 111), as amended, and the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (63 Stat. 377), as amended.

§ 6-1.104 Applicability.

(a) The DOSPR and the FPR apply to all procurement of personal property and nonpersonal services (including construction) by the Department of State both within and outside the United States except for those operations which have exemption from the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended.

(b) The DOSPR and FPR do not apply to the acquisition or leasing of real property.

[blocks in formation]

Certain Department of State policies and procedures which come within the scope of this chapter nevertheless may be excluded from the DOSPR. These exclusions include the following categories:

(a) Subject matter which bears a security classification.

(b) Policy or procedure which is expected to be effective for a period of less than six months.

(c) Policy or procedure which is being instituted on an experimental basis for a reasonable period.

[Redesignated, 31 F.R. 10193, July 28, 1966] § 6-1.106 Issuance.

Regulations contained in the DOSPR deemed necessary for business concerns, and others properly interested, to understand basic and significant Department of State procurement policies are published in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) as Chapter 6 of Title 41, Public Contracts, and are published in issues of the FEDERAL REGISTER and in separate loose-leaf volume form.

[Redesignated, 31 F.R. 10193, July 28, 1966] § 6-1.107 Arrangement. [Redesignated, 31 F.R. 10193, July 28, 1966] § 6-1.107-1 General plan.

The DOSPR conform with the style and arrangement of the FPR. [Redesignated, 31 F.R. 10193, July 28, 1966] § 6-1.107-2 Numbering.

Material in the DOSPR which implements or deviates from related material in the FPR is captioned and numbered to correspond with such material in the FPR, except that while the first digit of the FPR number is 1, the first digit of the DOSPR number is 6. Material in the DOSPR which supplements the FPR will be assigned numbers 50 or above at the part, subpart, section, or subsection at which there is no counterpart material in the FPR. For an example, see section 6-1.350. Where material in the FPR requires no implementation or devi

ation there is no corresponding number in the DOSPR. Thus, there are gaps in the DOSPR sequence of numbers where the FPR as written are applicable to Department of State procurement. [Redesignated, 31 F.R. 10193, July 28, 1966] § 6-1.107-3 Citation.

The DOSPR will be cited in the same manner as the FPR are cited. Thus, this section, when referred to in divisions of the FPR System, should be cited as "section 6-1.107-3 of this chapter." When this section is referred to formally in official documents, such as legal briefs, it should be cited as "41 CFR 6-1.107-3." Any section of the DOSPR may be informally identified, for purposes of brevity, as "DOSPR" followed by the section number, such as "DOSPR 6-1.107-3." [Redesignated, 31 FR. 10193, July 28, 1966] § 6-1.108 Relationship of the DOSPR, FPR, and IAPR.

(a) The regulations in the DOSPR implement, supplement, and in some instances deviate from the FPR. Implementing material is that which expands upon or indicates the manner of compliance with related FPR material. Deviating material is defined in § 1-1.009. Supplementing material is that for which there is no counterpart in the FPR.

(b) The FPR as edited for the Foreign Service and the DOSPR have been adopted in general for use by the U.S. Information Service. They are to be used with the U.S. Information Agency Regulations (IAPR) which implement, supplement and deviate from the FPRDOSPR. Chapter 19A of IAPR applies only to overseas procurement of USIA. [31 F.R. 10193, July 28, 1966]

§ 6-1.109 Control of deviations.

In the interest of establishing and maintaining uniformity to the greatest extent feasible, deviations from the FPR System shall be kept to a minimum and controlled as follows:

(a) Requests for deviations from the FPR and from the DOSPR, in individual cases and in classes of cases, shall be submitted by memorandum. A statement setting forth the nature of the deviation and the reasons for the special action sought shall be included with the request, and a copy thereof shall be included in the contract file.

(b) Deviations from the FPR and the DOSPR in individual cases, and from the

DOSPR, in classes of cases, may be authorized by the Chief, Supply and Transportation Services Division or his designee, or, in foreign buildings procurement operations, by the Director, Office of Foreign Buildings or his designee.

(c) Deviations from the FPR in classes of cases will be considered jointly by the Department of State and the General Services Administration (GSA) unless circumstances preclude such effort. In such case, the Chief, Division of Supply and Transportation Services or the Director, Office of Foreign Buildings, as appropriate, will approve such class deviations as he determines necessary and will notify GSA of such action.
