DoD Instruction 5000.64
• Accountability and Management of DoD-Owned Equipment and
Other Accountable Property
• Reissues Reference (a) to establish accountability and management
policy for tangible DoD-owned equipment and other accountable
property, in accordance with the authority outlined in Reference
(b).
• 1.2. Establishes policy and procedures to comply with References
(c) and (d); outlines requirements that reflect both the accounting
perspective, which supports the documentation of life-cycle events
and transactions, and the accountability perspective, which
supports the lifecycle management of assets.
• 1.3. Provides policy and procedures for DoD-owned equipment and
other accountable property; assists DoD property managers,
accounting and financial managers, and other officials in
understanding their roles and responsibilities.
The UID Registry
• Currently you must register all GFP/GFE that is serialized or greater in
value than $5,000 in UID Registry via the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF)
• Proposed rules changes remove the $5,000 threshold
• All ST/STE will be serialized, requiring UID
• Virtual UII’s must also be registered
• GFP Module (originally proposed “HUB”) is for non-UII parts
• Government wants Registry visibility to all GFP, regardless of cost to
Contractors to implement
– Cost/Benefit Analysis does not seem to be present
– Reliance on Contractors for reporting does not seem to be present (formerly DD1662’s)
– Multiple Property systems – no consistent interface among major ERP/Asset
Management systems
• Reference DFARS Case 2009-D043
UID Impacts
• Impact on Repair on Repairables (Also known as Maintenance, Repair and
Overhaul – MRO) is likely to be significant
– Parts returning for repair may not yet be registered but will need to be prior to returning
repaired item
– Subassemblies and “children” of “Parent” parts may also need to be registered
• Parts built by other OEM’s may be registered, but become part of your
delivered system (Which CAGE Code is used? Which DODAAC? …)
• Property Type has returned (although when DD1662’s were terminated,
Property Type was to be eliminated)

Number as a mandatory field for
Construct 1
TBD
TBD

captured at time of delivery
TBD
Warranty flag operational;
Warranty attachment in
design
7) Make type designation a separate
field for all items

Loss of Government Property
• Reference FAR Case 2010-009
• Clarifies reporting, reutilization, and disposal of Government property and
the contractor requirements under the Government property clause
• Clarifies that FAR Part 45 and FAR Part 52.245-1 does not apply to
Government Property “incidental to the place of performance at a
Government site or installation”
• Adds definitions of “loss of Government Property” and “unit acquisition
cost”
• Moves the definition of “surplus property” to Part 2
• Revises language references in Public Comments from Government and
Contractors, exchanges (such as with AIA), and questions received for FAR
Case 2008-011
DFARS Proposed Rule on Responsibility
and Liability for Government Property
• Reference DFARS Case 2010-D018
• Extends the FAR Government self-insurance policy to Fixed Price contracts
awarded on a basis other than a submission of cost pricing data.
• Contractors will not be held liable for loss of Government Property under
the following contract types:
– Cost-reimbursement
– Time and materials
– Labor Hour
– Fixed Price (negotiated on a basis other than cost-pricing data)
• Eliminates use of Alternate 1 which requires Contractors to assume that
risk
Contractor Self Assessments
• Guidance from Tom Ruckdaschel
• PMSA’s should be less mechanical, rely on
good CSA’s for day-to-day operations
• Updated PMSA Guidebook is in development
• DoD/DCMA encourages more robust
Contractor Self Assessments than PMSA –
Early Warning System
Challenges (Tom Ruckdaschel)
• New focus on contractor property
systems as a business system

Timeliness
Accuracy
Reliability
CONSISTENCY
• Requires
– Understanding root causes; implement preventive actions
– Finding the right remedy
for inadequate systems; and
• Documentation, documentation, documentation
