Continued DFARS Part 245 Paperwork Burden
If you are a business that deals with Government property under DFARS Part 245, you are required to respond to this information collection. The collection covers 771 respondents with about 18,891 annual responses, an average burden of 0.17 hour per response, and totals 3,266 annual burden hours.
Mandatory GFP Reporting via PIEE
If you handle Government-furnished property (GFP), DFARS clause 252.245-7005(b)(1) requires you to report GFP requirements using the GFP module of the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) eBusiness platform. The reporting supports accountability and end-to-end traceability of Government property within DoD.
Requirement to Complete DD Form 1639 for Scrap Purchases
If you purchase Government property for its material content from a Government contractor, DFARS 252.245-7005(j)(2) requires you to complete DD Form 1639 (Scrap Warranty) to warrant that the property will be used only as scrap. Individuals or firms purchasing such property must provide that written warranty.
Contractor Response Required for Property System Weaknesses
DFARS 252.245-7003 requires certain contractors to respond in writing to an initial or final determination from the administrative contracting officer that identifies weaknesses in the contractor's property management system. Affected contractors must provide the required written response.
