D-2008-111 DoD IG Report to Congress on Section 324 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, Review of DoD Guidelines on Considering Civilians for New and Contracted Functions, July 23, 2008 (Project No. D2008-D000CH-0165.000)

  • “Section 343 of the FY 2006 National Defense Authorization Act required DoD to issue guidelines and procedures for ensuring that consideration was given to Federal Government employees for work performed under DoD contracts. The Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (USD[AT&L]) issued the guidance on July 27, 2007. The guidelines allowed the conversion of contracted activities or functions for up to 3 percent of a Component’s authorizations coded as “commercial reviewable,” required prior notification of the DoD Competitive Sourcing Official for actions that would exceed the 3-percent limit, and gave the DoD Competitive Sourcing Official authority to intervene or stop a section 343 action. As required by section 324 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act, on April 4, 2008, the Deputy Secretary of Defense canceled the section 343 guidance.”
