Abstract
The Department of Commerce (Commerce) is issuing this final rule to discontinue use of Form CD-492, Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition, and to make an editorial change to the associated regulations. The purpose of the administrative rulemaking is to cease the requirement for acquisition teams to use a prescribed form to document justifications for other than full and open competition under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and to make an editorial change to the regulatory text to correct a reference to Department legal review procedures by replacing the word "concurrence" with the word "review." Contracting Officers will be required to comply with the content requirements set forth in the FAR when documenting their determinations.
