Action Required: DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to issue policy on small business participation on certain multiple-award contracts. Interested parties should submit written comments to the Regulatory Secretariat Division at the address shown below on or before March 17, 2025, to be considered in the formation of the final rule.

Small business owners interested in contracting with the Defense Logistics Agency can now use a new search function on DLA’s Small Business webpage to get contact information for the supply chain that manages the items or services they provide.

The new tool is the first iteration of a more extensive Supplier Pathway program intended to help new entrants navigate government contracting processes and learn the nuances of working with DLA.
