systems to a Military Department subject to the following criteria:

(i) The Military Department desiring cognizance has major contracts in the plant such as those for research, exploratory development, systems engineering, management, and technical direction; and research and development operating contracts.

(ii) The service or supply under contract must be of high national priority, in itself, or related to a major system of high national priority. It must involve such a high degree of technical innovation and complexity that performance of CAS by other than the responsible Military Department would adversely affect the successful and timely completion of the contract.

(iii) Subject to the above, other factors to be considered in cognizance determinations are similar to those listed in subparagraph (1) (iii) of this paragraph.

(3) Special category of contract assignments. The ASD (I&L) may consider a special category of contracts such as those for construction and stevedoring, for assignment to a Military Department for performance of field CAS subject to the following criteria:

(i) The Military Department desiring cognizance has major contracts at a significant number of contractor locations involved solely in performance of contracts for a single type of supply or service, and it is unlikely that contracts for other items or from other Services/ Agencies would be performed at the same locations.

(ii) The supply or service for which cognizance is desired must be of high national priority. The unusual nature of the contracts or other circumstances must be such that assignment to a Military Department is clearly in the best interests of the government.

(f) Facilities contracts (ASPR 7-701). Such contracts will not be considered for separate assignment by ASD (I&L). Field performance on such contracts will be by DCAS except at plants assigned to the Military Departments by ASD (I&L) under the provisions of this part.

(g) Submission of assignment requests. (1) Requests for assignment of major system plants and special plants shall include the information required by the Plant Cognizance Questionnaire, see § 190.6. Four copies of each questionnaire shall be submitted to the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Installations and

Logistics), Attention: Directorate for Contract Administration Services. (2) Request for assignment of category of contracts requires the submission of a letter of justification (four copies) in sufficient detail to enable ASD (I&L) to make determinations based on the factors outlined in paragraph (e)(3) of this section.

(3) The Military Departments and DSA will be advised of ASD (I&L) cognizance determinations. Changes resulting from such decisions will be reflected, as appropriate, in the DOD Directory of CAS components.

(h) Relinquishments. No military Department shall retain cognizance or be required to retain cognizance of a plant or category of contracts for which it no longer qualifies or has a need, except that it shall not relinquish cognizance until ASD (I&L) transfers the plant or category of contract to another DOD component. Requests for reliquishment (four copies) shall include reasons therefor and a proposed transfer date.

§ 190.6 Plant cognizance questionnaire.
Requesting Department_-_.
Type of Request: Transfer
Continuance

(a) Provide name of contractor and name and location of the plant for which cognizance is desired. When more than one building is involved, provide maps showing location of all buildings.

(b) Describe in detail what is being procured which is the basis for the plant assignment request. (If not a major system indicate its relationship to the major system.)

(c) Indicate the current status of the system or subsystem in relation to its life cycle (e.g. Research, Exploratory Development, Advanced Development, Concept Formulation, Contract Definition, Engineering Development, Operational System Development, Production). Indicate when production stage began or the approximate date when production is expected to begin.

(d) Specify any previous technical developments on which the system is based, explaining what is new and different.

(e) For systems in process, and where CAS is under another Service/Agency, provide specific evidence on how this situation adversely affects the successful completion of the system. For new systems, explain why you believe performance of CAS by other than the system/project of CAS by other would affect the successful completion of the system.

(f) In the event cognizance is assigned, indicate those system/project manager responsibilities which will be delegated to the CAS component which are over and above the normal CAS functions listed in ASPR 1-406.

For each such responsibility delegated indicate the extent of the CAS component's authority, including any specific authorities to finally commit the government to a course of action significantly affecting the contract or the system.

(g) Indicate why the installation of a technical representative at the plant to perform system/project manager functions would not provide essential technical direction and control.

(h) Provide following information on the magnitude of contracts for the system or other basis for request:

(1) Undelivered dollar value of DOD contracts for the major system, or other item/ service which is the basis for requested assignment. If more than one item is involved, furnish information separately.

(a) Equal opportunity and treatment shall be accorded all military members and civilian employees of the Department of Defense irrespective of their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin consistent with requirements for physical capabilities.

(b) Discriminatory treatment, on and off base, directed against uniformed members (or their dependents) and civilian employees undermines their morale and efficiency and therefore their effectiveness. Each commander shall initiate action to oppose and overcome such discriminatory action and impose appropriate restrictions in housing discrimination cases as required by DOD Instruction 1338.151 Equal Opportunity for Military Personnel in Off-Base Housing Program, and use the off-limits sanction in accordance with Armed Forces Disciplinary Control Board procedures in other discrimination cases.

(c) Equal opportunity for civilian members shall translate into Aggressive Affirmative Action Programs, specifically including the Federal Women's Programs, which shall include the use of numerical goals and timetables as a means to increase the utilization of minorities in occupations and levels in which their representation is out of balance. Such goals are to be attainable but challenging and are to insure prog1 See footnote on p. 400.
