The following procedures apply to DoD instead of the procedures at FAR 3.905:
(1) The DoD Inspector General will make a determination as to whether a complaint is frivolous or merits further investigation.
(2) If the DoD Inspector General determines that a complaint merits further investigation, the DoD Inspector General will-
(i) Notify the complainant, the contractor alleged to have committed the violation, and the head of the agency;
(ii) Conduct an investigation; and
(iii) Provide a written report of findings to the complainant, the contractor alleged to have committed the violation, and the head of the agency.
(3) The DoD Inspector General-
(i) Will determine that the complaint is frivolous or will submit the report addressed in paragraph (2) of this section within 180 days after receiving the complaint; and
(ii) If unable to submit a report within 180 days, will submit the report within the additional time period to which the person submitting the complaint agrees.
