## Abstract

DoD has issued a final rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to reflect an extension in the expiration date of a memorandum of understanding between DoD and the Small Business Administration (SBA). The memorandum of understanding permits DoD to award contracts directly to 8(a) Program participants instead of awarding the contracts through the SBA.
