D.  Add More Specific Contract Administration Procedures

Comment: A respondent noted the absence in the interim rule, in DFARS parts 237 or 242, of procedures, guidance, or information focusing on postaward contract administration to prevent actual administration of a contract as an unauthorized personal services contract. The respondent recommended (a) referencing FAR 37.104(d) in DFARS 237.503 and (b) possibly adding coverage in DFARS part 242 relating to contract administration.

Response: DoD has added a cross reference to FAR 37.104(d) at DFARS 237.503. In this final rule, no changes are made to DFARS subpart 242.
