                General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation; Personal
                Identity Verification Requirements Clarification; Correction
                AGENCY: Office of Acquisition Policy, General Services Administration
                (GSA).
                ACTION: Final rule; correction.
                -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                SUMMARY: The General Services Administration (GSA) is issuing this
                final rule to amend the General Services Administration Acquisition
                Regulation (GSAR) to make a needed technical amendment. This technical
                amendment is to remove regulatory text regarding contract
                administration for exercising options that was incorrectly addressed in
                previous rulemaking.
                DATES: Effective: November 5, 2021.
                FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Vernita L. Misidor, Procurement
                Analyst, at 202-357-9681 or email at [email protected] for
                clarification of content. For information pertaining to status or

                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final rule amends the General Services
                Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to make needed technical
                amendments. Following internal procurement management reviews, GSA
                identified the need to improve certain credentialing administration
                processes for contractors. As a result, GSA amended the GSAR through
                GSAR Case 2020-G525 to clarify the personal identity verification
                requirements (86 FR 28499). Under this rule, language regarding
                contract administration for options was also removed from regulation as
                the language speaks to internal operating procedures. However, the
                amendatory instructions for the options language was noted incorrectly
                in the rule. This technical amendment corrects that mistake and removes
                section 517.207.

                 Therefore, GSA amends 48 CFR part 517 by making the following
                correcting amendment:
