2 2 EVMS FAR Case Proposed FAR Rule –Draft at OMB for Approval –Publication in Federal Register by end of February asking for comments –Asking for specific comments on use of IBR’s before award – under what circumstances, dollar limits, etc. –Nothing is off limits. Suggestions welcome. –Comments due 60 Days after publication in Federal Register –Expected Final Rule – July

[ If an EVMS is to be used, discuss the methodology the Government will employ to analyze and use the EV data to assess and monitor contract performance. In addition, discuss how the offeror’s/contractor’s EVMS will be verified for compliance with the ANSI/EIA standard, and the timing and conduct of integrated baseline reviews (whether prior to or post award). See 34.202

6 6 Part 34-Major System Acquisition 34-000 Scope of part This part describes acquisition policies and procedures for use in acquiring major systems consistent with OMB Circular No. A-109; [and the use of Earned Value Management Systems in acquisitions designated as major acquisitions consistent with OMB Circular A-11]

As interim procedure use DOD EVMIG as guidance to implement agency EVMS system. PMSC is working on EVMS Acceptance process guide that could be applicable to both Government and industry. OMB will ask PMSC to start new project to develop a full EVMS implementation guide.
