Abstract: DoD will use this information to comply with the statutory reporting requirements contained in 10 U.S.C. 2330a. Section 2330a requires the Secretary of Defense to submit to Congress, no later than June 30th of each fiscal year, an annual inventory of service contracts performed during the preceding fiscal year. Section 812 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 requires this information for each purchase of services in excess of $3 million. This collection requirement is necessary for the Department of Defense (DoD) to be able to meet this congressional reporting requirement; accordingly, DoD is amending the DFARS.
