11.  "Inadequate in Part"

Comment: The final rule should provide for "inadequate in part" determinations when minor system deficiencies will not affect the entire business system.

Response: "Inadequate in part" determinations when minor system deficiencies are found are not necessary. Contractor business systems will only be disapproved when the contracting officer determines that one or more significant deficiencies materially affect the ability of officials of the Department of Defense to rely upon information produced by the system that is needed for management purposes.
