small awards, the Director of Defense Research and Engineering (DDR&E), 

or his or her designee, may grant exceptions from the requirements of 

this part:

    (i) With the written concurrence of the Office of the Management and

notification to OMB of the Department of Defense's intention to grant a 

class deviation; and

    (ii) When exceptions are not prohibited by statute.

    (2) DoD Components shall request approval for such deviations in 

accordance with 32 CFR 21.335(b) and 21.340. However, in the interest of 

maximum uniformity, exceptions from the requirements of this part shall 

be permitted only in unusual circumstances.
