Section 868 provides that purchases of commercial services that are not offered and sold competitively in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace may only be considered commercial items for the purposes of the FAR if the contracting officer determines in writing that the offeror has submitted sufficient information to evaluate, through price analysis, the reasonableness of the price of such services.","action":"Interim rule with request for comments.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE","name":"Defense Department","id":103,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/defense-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/103","parent_id":null,"slug":"defense-department"},{"raw_name":"GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION","name":"General Services Administration","id":210,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/general-services-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/210","parent_id":null,"slug":"general-services-administration"},{"raw_name":"NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION","name":"National Aeronautics and Space Administration","id":301,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-aeronautics-and-space-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/301","parent_id":null,"slug":"national-aeronautics-and-space-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2009/10/14/E9-24570.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":15,"title":48}],"citation":"74 FR 52852","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective Date: October 14, 2009.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["FAC 2005-37","FAR Case 2008-034","Item IV","Docket 2009-0035, Sequence 1"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"E9-24570","effective_on":"2009-10-14","end_page":52853,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2009/10/14/E9-24570.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2009/10/14/E9-24570/federal-acquisition-regulation-far-case-2008-034-use-of-commercial-services-item-authority","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/E9-24570?publication_date=2009-10-14","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2009-10-14/E9-24570/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":106,"last_updated":"2026-09-20 16:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2009-10-14/pdf/E9-24570.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2009-10-14","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2009/10/14/E9-24570.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"9000-AL44":{"issue":"201104","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/9000-AL44/far-case-2008-034-use-of-commercial-services-item-authority","title":"FAR Case 2008-034, Use of Commercial Services Item Authority","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201104&RIN=9000-AL44&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Substantive, Nonsignificant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["9000-AL44"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2009-10-14T20:43:28Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":52852,"subtype":null,"title":"Federal Acquisition Regulation; FAR Case 2008-034, Use of Commercial Services Item Authority","toc_doc":"FAR Case 2008034, Use of Commercial Services Item Authority","toc_subject":"Federal Acquisition Regulation:","topics":["Government procurement"],"type":"Rule","volume":74}
