    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    This final rule amends the DFARS as follows—

    1. Directs contracting officers to DFARS Procedures, Guidance, and Information (PGI) for information on the Governmentwide moratorium on public-private competitions by adding a cross reference at DFARS 207.302 and 237.102(b);

    2. Corrects a typographical error at DFARS 209.505-4(b)(ii);

    3. Updates hyperlinks to information on passive radio frequency identification at DFARS 211.275-2(a)(2) and paragraphs (b)(1)(ii) and (d)(2) of DFARS clause 252.211-7006;

    4. Corrects a threshold at DFARS 215.408(3)(ii)(A)(1)(i) to reflect $700,000 in lieu of $750,000 because that threshold was not subject to the inflation adjustment at DFARS Case 2014-D025 published in the Federal Register at 80 FR 36903;

    5. Updates DFARS 237.102-75 to reference the “Defense Acquisition Guidebook, Chapter 14, Acquisition of Services” instead of the “Guidebook for the Acquisition of Services;”

    6. Updates DFARS 237.102-77 to reference the “Acquisition Requirements Roadmap Tool” instead of the “Automated Requirements Roadmap Tool;”

    7. Corrects a cross reference at DFARS 242.7202(a) by changing paragraph (e) to paragraph (d) of the clause at 252.242.7004; and
