FAR 42.302(a)(b)
Property and Plant Clearance
• Four Business Areas:• Property Center (CONUS)• DCMA International (OCONUS)• Contingency Contracting (Iraq/Afghan)• Special Programs
• Ensure contractors meet FAR/DFARS requirements
• Provide effective and efficient oversight & surveillance (property audits)
• Perform reutilization screening (of excess property, as required) [Plant Clearance Center]
• Evaluate contractor reported property loss, damage destruction, theft
Important Terminology
• Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)• Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement
(DFARS)• Procedures, Guidance and Information (PGI)• Contractor Inventory (FAR Part 45.101)• Plant Clearance Officer (FAR Part 45.101)• PCARSS: Plant Clearance Automated Reutilization
Screening System
Current Issues
• Problem statement: “General uncertainty in property disposition/plant clearance; wide swings in policy interpretation; many “myths and legends”
• DoD DFARS Parts 245.5, 245.6/7—in need of substantial update and reform• Obsolete policy and terminology (somewhere between 35 and 40
years old)• Not contractually binding on contractors (no clauses)
• FAR also requires clarification…so:• Two proposed rules in play:
• FAR Case 2009-009• DFARS Case 2009-D008
DFARS Parts 245.6/7 (cont.)
• Proposed rule published Dec. 3, 2010
• Major change: establishes a DFARS clause for property disposition/plant clearance
• DoD does not have its own clause for property disposition
• Why is this important?• Unlike other life-cycle events, property
disposition authority is mostly statutory
• PCARRS not contractually binding
• Plant Clearance Automated Reutilization and Screening System
• The “automated Inventory Schedule” [SF 1428]
• Deployment began in 1995• Used by most DoD
contractors
Quick Overview PCARSS
• Included in the new DFARS clause clause
• Makes clear that contractor use of PCARSS is contractually required
DFARS Parts 245.6/7 (cont.)
“The contractor shall complete SF 1428, Inventory Schedule B, within the PCARSS.”
Highlights (cont.)
New DFARS 245.107: “Use the clause at 252.245-70XX in solicitations and contracts that contain 52.245-1.”
Bottom line: the new DFARS clause is mandatory for DoD contracts containing the FAR clause
What about legacy contracts? I knew you would ask…
What’s Changed
• Deletes:• Obsolete special processing requirements
• Industrial Plant Equipment (not since 1994)• Contractor Inventory Redistribution System• Automated Data Processing Equipment
• Obsolete supply condition codes• Inventory Schedule “D”• Modified Plant Clearance language
• Clarifies:• Scrap requirements• Demilitarization requirements• Trade Security Control issues
Overview: New PGI
• PGI 245.602-70—• Contains procedures in assigning a plant clearance case; establishing a case file • Clarifies use of DLA Disposition Services (“DRMO”)• Provides new direction for Plant Clearance Officers on Trade Security Controls (TSC):
• Ensure prospective buyers are not an ineligible transferee (those on the excluded party list)• Cross reference contractor inventory to an NSN and DEMIL code• Consult with DEMIL Program Office/Trade Security Control Program office (can property be
sold to the public? Is a TSC assessment required?)• Provide end use certificate as required
Overview: Scrap Disposal
• Revised/update definition of scrap• Scrap procedures
• No requirement for Govt “approval”• Consistent with FAR Case 2010-009
• Procedure should provide for the “effective and efficient disposition of scrap”• Minimize costs• Maximize proceeds• Contain appropriate internal controls (mitigate improper release)
• Commingling of Government owned/contractor owned scrap is “allowed’ with PLCO approval
Highlights (cont.)
• 245.603-3, Screening• Must be DoD-wide; must take place before sale
• Requiring agency has priority
• 245.604-3, Sale• Informal/formal bids
• 252.245-70XX, new definitions• Commerce Control List Items
• Munitions List Items
• Scrap
Revised/New Scrap Policy (cont.)

“The Contractor shall demilitarize contractor inventory possessing offensive or defense characteristics, and not required within DoD, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract and, consistent with Defense Demilitarization Manual, DoD 4160.21-M-1, edition in effect as of the date of this contract.”
This language makes clear that demilitarizationrequirements should be spelled out –up front
Summary
• Be aware that:• The rule includes a new clause -- 252.245-70XX
• The clause will require DoD contractors to:
• use PCARSS
• develop a scrap procedure (if applicable)
• ensure proper review of sales buyers
• Also…that the Government has to include demilitarization requirements within contract terms and conditions
• Other discussion items• Export controls• Trade Security Control clearances• Property disposal overseas
