DoD 4161.2-M DoD Manual for the Performance of Contract Property Administration

From the DCMA Public Website, information on the DoD Property Manual (http://guidebook.dcma.mil/34/dc08-170.htm): 

Information Memorandum No. 08-170
Subject:  Rescission of Instruction DoD 4161.2-M DoD Manual for the Performance of Contract Property Administration (INFORMATION)
Date:  February 22, 2008
Target Audience:  Property Administrators (PA) and Administrative Contracting Officers.

New Information/Guidance/Tools:

• The subject Instruction designated the Defense Logistics Agency (Defense Contract Management Command) with responsibility for the developing, publishing, and maintaining the DoD 4161.2-M.  This responsibility has continued under the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA).
• The manual, last published in 1991, is now obsolete.  Its utility as a policy-making tool has largely been superseded by DoD Procedures, Guidance and Information (PGI).  With that in mind, OSD is in the process of cancelling DoDI 4161.2-M, DoD Manual for the Performance of Contract Property Administration.
• Information and direction for DCMA Property Administrators and Plant Clearance Officers will be provided in the DCMA guidebook for Property Management on Government Contracts.
• We will be updating the Guidebook on an incremental basis with the System Analysis Section projected for completion by May 1, 2008.
• This information is applicable to the Property Management on Government Contracts Guidebook process.
