DFARS Part #207
FAR 2.101- Definitions
Inherently governmental function means, as a matter of policy, a function that is so intimately
related to the public interest as to mandate performance by Government employees. This
definition is a policy determination, not a legal determination. An inherently governmental
function includes activities that require either the exercise of discretion in applying Government
authority, or the making of value judgments in making decisions for the Government.
Governmental functions normally fall into two categories: the act of governing, i.e., the
discretionary exercise of Government authority, and monetary transactions and entitlements.
SUBPART 207.5 —INHERENTLY GOVERNMENTAL
FUNCTIONS

DFARS – 2021 - Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement
JSchaus & Associates – Washington, DC – hello@JenniferSchaus.com
DFARS Part #207
Inherently Governmental Continued:
(1) An inherently governmental function involves, among other things, the interpretation and
execution of the laws of the United States so as to-
(i) Bind the United States to take or not to take some action by contract, policy,
regulation, authorization, order, or otherwise;
(ii) Determine, protect, and advance United States economic, political, territorial,
property, or other interests by military or diplomatic action, civil or criminal judicial
proceedings, contract management, or otherwise;
(iii) Significantly affect the life, liberty, or property of private persons;
(iv) Commission, appoint, direct, or control officers or employees of the United
States; or
(v) Exert ultimate control over the acquisition, use, or disposition of the property,
real or personal, tangible or intangible, of the United States, including the collection, control,
or disbursement of Federal funds.

SUBPART 207.5 —INHERENTLY GOVERNMENTAL FUNCTIONS
207.503 Policy.
(e) The written determination required by FAR 7.503(e), that none of the functions to be
performed by contract are inherently governmental—
Exceptions:
(i) The contracting officer determines that appropriate military or civilian DoD personnel—
(A) Cannot reasonably be made available to perform the functions;
(B) Will oversee contractor performance of the contract; and
(C) Will perform all inherently governmental functions associated with the functions to
be performed under the contract; and
(ii) The contracting officer ensures that the agency addresses any potential organizational
conflict of interest of the contractor in the performance of the functions under the contract
(see FAR Subpart 9.5).

SUBPART 207.70- BUY-TO-BUDGET-ADDITIONAL QUANTIITES OF END ITEMS
207.7002 Authority to acquire additional quantities of end items
10 U.S.C. 2308 authorizes DoD to use funds available for the acquisition of an end item to
acquire a higher quantity of the end item than the quantity specified in a law providing for
the funding of that acquisition, if the head of an agency determines that—
(a) The agency has an established requirement for the end item that is expected to
remain substantially unchanged throughout the period of the acquisition;
(b) It is possible to acquire the higher quantity of the end item without additional
funding because of production efficiencies or other cost reductions;
(c) The amount of funds used for the acquisition of the higher quantity of the end item will
not exceed the amount provided under that law for the acquisition of the end item; and
(d) The amount provided under that law for the acquisition of the end item is sufficient to
ensure that each unit of the end item acquired within the higher quantity is fully funded as a
complete end item.
