BILLING CODE 5001-06-P DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE Defense Acquisition Regulations System 48 CFR Parts 219 and 252 [Docket DARS-2020-0001] Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement: Technical Amendments AGENCY: Defense Acquisition Regulations System, Department of Defense (DoD). ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: DoD is making needed technical amendments to update the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). DATES: Effective August 31, 2020. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ms. Jennifer L. Hawes, Defense Acquisition Regulations System, OUSD (A&S) DPC (DARS), Room 3B938, 3060 Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301-3060. Telephone 571-372-6115. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final rule amends the DFARS as follows to: 1. Remove section 219.303 to align with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Section 219.303 is now reserved in the FAR and appropriate coverage is located at FAR 19.102(b), Determining the appropriate NAICS codes for the solicitation. *https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-02-27/pdf/2020-02028.pdf#page=23.* 2.
Update the 219.5 subpart heading to align with the FAR subpart heading. 3. Revise the section 219.502-2 heading to align with the FAR coverage and renumber the section paragraph. Paragraph
(a)in FAR 19.502-2 addresses acquisitions below the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT). The DFARS text addresses specific types of acquisitions at dollar values below, at, and above the SAT. The section is being renumbered to reflect implementation of the whole section ( *i.e.,* FAR 19.502-2(a) and (b)), not just a single paragraph. 4. Redesignate section 219.505 as 219.502-8 to align with the FAR. 5. Update the section 219.808 heading to align with the FAR. 6. Correct cross references in the introductory text for the following clauses: 252.245-7000, 252.245-7001, 252.245-7002, and 252.245-7003.

Revise section 219.502-2 to read as follows: 219.502-2 Total small business set-asides.

(1)Construction, including maintenance and repairs, under $2.5 million;
