This clause was removed on October 31, 2018 pursuant to DFARS Case 2018-D033 entitled "Repeal of DFARS Clause "Acquisition Streamlining" (DFARS Case 2018-D033)".
Amends the DFARS to remove DFARS clause 252.211-7000, Acquisition Streamlining, and the associated clause prescription at DFARS 211.002-70. This clause was added to the DFARS to implement a requirement of DoD Directive 5000.43, Acquisition Streamlining, which has been cancelled and replaced by DoD Instruction 5000.02, Operation of the Defense Acquisition System. In addition, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) already requires acquisition streamlining and industry engagement as part of acquisition planning; therefore, this clause is no longer necessary. The repeal of this DFARS clause supports a recommendation from the DoD Regulatory Reform Task Force established pursuant to E.O. 13777, "Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda."
