List of Commercial and Inherently Governmental Activities

In accordance with the requirements of the FAIR Act of 1998 the Department of Justice commercial activities are listed in the attached inventory. At the direction of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), we have also included the inherently governmental activities. All inherently governmental activities have an “I” in the status column. An interested party, as defined by the FAIR Act, may challenge the Department’s decision to list activities as commercial or inherently governmental, or the application of commercial reason codes. Commercial activities have been classified using criteria provided by the OMB. Challenges addressing function codes, or for any other purpose will not be considered. All challenges must be received within 30 working days of the date the inventory was made publicly available (which is also the date the OMB notice appeared in the Federal Register). All challenges must be received by the due date at the following address:

William N. Taylor II
Senior Procurement Executive
U.S. Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Room 1113
Washington, DC 20530
