If, as a result of b. (1), above, standardization is indicated, the HCA's
determination (enclosure 1), required by FAR 6.302-l (b)(4), shall be prepared by
the Cognizant Program Office in conjunction with the Office of Procurement
Management, Commandant (G-CPM). The findings upon which the determination
is based shall be included in the document and shall address the cost-savings-
factors listed in paragraph 3.c, below. The cognizant program office shall provide
all pertinent technical and cost data including cost savings, displayed in
supportable dollar figures. Prior to submitting the D&F for approval, it may be
necessary for the cognizant program office to have it reviewed by Commandant
(G-CPA) for resource impact and validation of assumptions used in estimating
savings. A separate determination shall be written for each specified piece of
equipment as a class determination to be used to support all procurements for the
specified equipment during the effective period of the determination. Procurement
of equipment for which a determination was made prior to this instruction and for
which the effective period has not expired will not require a new determination.
