Summary: The commenter argues that the proposed overhaul of FAR part 2 is inconsistent with existing federal regulations because it omits the term "Substantial bundling." They recommend that the GSA incorporate the specific definition and thresholds for "Substantial bundling" from 13 CFR 125.1 into the FAR to ensure statutory consistency.
The overhauled part 2 lacks the term "Substantial bundling" and is not consistent with the Code of Federal Regulations Title 13 Chapter I Part 125 § 125.1. (ref: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-13/chapter-I/part-125/section-125.1)
Substantial bundling is a term identified and defined under the Code of Federal Regulations Title 13 Chapter I Part 125 § 125.1, and this statutory language is applicable to the FAR.
“Substantial bundling means any bundling that meets or exceeds the following dollar amounts (if the acquisition strategy contemplates multiple award contracts, orders placed under unrestricted multiple award contracts, or a Blanket Purchase Agreement or a task or delivery order contract awarded by another agency, these thresholds apply to the cumulative estimated value of the Multiple Award Contracts, orders, or Blanket Purchase Agreement, including options):
