PROBLEM STATEMENT and VISION
5
Problem/Purpose
  • The Problem current FAR language is well over
    fifty years old contains inconsistent, often
    conflicting guidance is at odds with modern
    materials management and technology.
  • Broad Purpose to revise the FAR (Property
    Management) requirementscreate a property
    management approach that fosters efficiency,
    flexibility, innovation, and creativity.

6
Cracking the Code (cont.)
  • Contractors are stewards of Government Property
  • Currently, there are several thousand Government
    entities with GP
  • As such, they need to manage the Government
    property in their possession via commercial
    processes, not Government prescribed actions.

7
Cracking the Code (cont.)
  • These processes need to be
  • Built on voluntary consensus standards (VCS)
  • E.g., ISO and ASTM and others,
  • In the absence of VCSs
  • Documented and Emerging Leading Practices for the
    applicable industry
  • Continuously improved through contemporary
    techniques
  • Lean, Six Sigma, Lean six sigma, etc.
  • to produce a life-cycle approach to property
    management with the appropriate OUTCOMES

8
Guiding Principles FAR Part 1
  • FAR 1.102 -- Statement of Guiding Principles for
    the Federal Acquisition System
  • The vision for the Federal Acquisition System
    is to deliver on a timely basis the best value
    product or service to the customer, while
    maintaining the publics trust and fulfilling
    public policy objectives.

9
HISTORY OF THE FAR REWRITE
  • Once upon a time, in a galaxy far away.

10
HISTORY OF THE FAR REWRITE
  • Original Proposal 1994
  • DPAP assembled a team to address Government and
    Industry concern regarding the Government
    Property Requirements
  • Effort moved along, but did not reach fruition.
  • Public Hearings were held
  • No general agreement as to direction rule should
    go.

11
HISTORY OF THE FAR REWRITE
  • Second Effort, 2000
  • DPAP assembled another team to tackle the effort.
  • Different perspectives and visions were broached
    for this iteration of the rule.
  • Again, No general agreement as to direction rule
    should go.

12
HISTORY OF THE FAR REWRITE
  • Third Effort, 2003 to the present
  • OUSD/ATL/PE, developed a consortium of people,
    spanning the property spectrum, to tackle this
    effort.
  • Developed and Communicated the vision of a new
    Property world
  • Reached general agreement with the Profession
  • Served as the Guide on the Side working it
    through the committee review process.

30
(b) Property management
  • consistent with voluntary consensus standards
    and/or industry-leading practices and standards
    for Government property management.

SIGNIFICANT NEW CHANGE AND ALLOWANCE
31
VOLUNTARY CONSENSUS STANDARDS
  • Voluntary Consensus Standard means common and
    repeated use of rules, conditions, guidelines or
    characteristics for products, or related
    processes and production methods and related
    management systems. Voluntary Consensus Standards
    are developed or adopted by domestic and
    international voluntary consensus standard making
    bodies.
  • Pub. L. 104-113, the "National Technology
    Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995,"

32
VOLUNTARY CONSENSUS STANDARDS BODIES
  • "Voluntary consensus standards bodies" are
    domestic or international organizations which
    plan, develop, establish, or coordinate voluntary
    consensus standards using agreed-upon procedures.
    For purposes of this Circular, "voluntary,
    private sector, consensus standards bodies," as
    cited in Act, is an equivalent term. The Act and
    the Circular encourage the participation of
    federal representatives in these bodies to
    increase the likelihood that the standards they
    develop will meet both public and private sector
    needs. A voluntary consensus standards body is
    defined by the following attributes (i)
    Openness. (ii) Balance of interest. (iii) Due
    process. (vi) An appeals process.

FAR 11.101 and OMB Circular A-119
33
USE OF VCSs
  • FAR 11.101 MANDATES THE USE OF VCSs BY THE
    GOVERNMENT IN ITS ACQUISITION/PROCUREMENT PROCESS
  • The Government DOES NOT ENDORSE any one VCS nor
    VCS Body.
  • There are HUNDREDS of VCS Bodies
  • http//www.ses-standards.org/displaycommon.cfm?an
    1subarticlenbr45
  • www.dsp.dla.mil
  • CONTRACTORS WILL DETERMINE THE APPLICABILITY OF
    VCSs IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CONTRACTING
    ENVIRONMENTS.

34
PROPERTY VCSs
  • With that said in the previous slide the MAJOR
    PROPONENT FOR PROPERTY VCSs is ASTM International
    with its E-53 Committee.
  • http//www.astm.org

35
A BIT OF HUMOR
  • "The nice thing about standards is that there are
    so many to choose from.
  • Andrew S. Tanenbaum, Computer Scientist and
    creator of Minux

36
INDUSTRY LEADING PRACTICES
  • CONCEPTUALIZATION FROM THE DOD PROPERTY MANUAL
    REWRITE TEAM
  • Industry leading practices (ILP) are generally
    accepted processes, including best practices,
    that have been proven throughout related
    businesses, to be managerially and economically
    effective, efficient, and successful at meeting
    particular objectives of a contractors
    management system, and where specified, in
    compliance with the required Government Outcomes.

37
INDUSTRY LEADING PRACTICES
  • The ILP should be based on empirical research,
    evidence and literature pertaining to that
    business practice, product or system as a
    leading practice. In order for a process to
    become an ILP, it should be widely used.
    Generally, there should be supporting historical
    data from an accepted source, e.g., trade
    publications, literature, etc., to support that
    process as being repeatable, efficient,
    measurable, and verifiable.

38
INDUSTRY LEADING PRACTICES
  • For Example - There are numerous Government
    Accountability Office (GAO) reports that clearly
    define, describe and document ILPs, e.g., GAO
    Report 02-447G, entitled Best Practices in
    Achieving Consistent, Accurate Physical Counts of
    Inventory and Related Property.
  • http//www.gao.gov/new.items/d02447g.pdf

39
INDUSTRY LEADING PRACTICES
  • With the rapid rate of technological and business
    systems development it is anticipated that
    numerous new processes will emerge. In such
    cases there may not be a developed body of
    literature supporting these processes. As such
    the PA needs to be open to the use of emerging
    processes as a potential ILP.

40
(b) Property management
  • (2) The Contractor's responsibility extends from
    the initial acquisition and receipt of property,
    through stewardship, custody, and use until
    formally relieved of responsibility by authorized
    means, including delivery, consumption,
    expending, disposition, or via a completed
    investigation, evaluation, and final
    determination for lost, damaged, or destroyed
    property.
