A.  Support for DoD Actions

Comment: A respondent noted the DFARS requirement for agency-level procedures to ensure that service contract requirements are vetted and approved in a manner that will prevent them from being awarded or administered as unauthorized personal services contracts. The respondent stated its support for Defense agencies taking internal action to ensure that no unauthorized personal services contracts are requested. Another respondent expressed support for the rule and stated that it "helps create a boundary separating contractor and government employees in all workplace environments."

Response: The respondents' support is noted. No change to the DFARS in this area was requested or made.
