FAR In Focus: Clear Insights for Every Contract

Powered by Crowell GovCon Strategies

Overview

The FAR is changing. Are you ready?

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Overhaul is underway. The goal: rewrite the regulations in plain language, strip out non-statutory rules, and provide practical strategies and best practices through a series of separate buying guides. FAR In Focus provides a complete crosswalk of the changes in each section, plus clear insights into how those changes could impact your contracts, compliance, and business decisions. Track FAR changes and get expert guidance from Crowell GovCon Strategies as you navigate this new era of federal procurement.

Fine Print

  • The Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) and the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council (FAR Council) are spearheading FAR Overhaul efforts in response to Executive Order 14275, “Restoring Common Sense to Federal Procurement.”
  • The FAR Council created deviations will include clauses and provisions currently required by statute and Executive Order. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the FAR Council will work with Congress to recommend statutory changes, and with the White House to recommend rescission of requirements stemming from prior Executive Orders that are inconsistent with the goals of Executive Order 14275. Any changes to Executive Orders or statute will be reflected when the FAR Overhaul turns to rule-making.
  • FAR In Focus is designed to be a practitioner’s resource, supplementing the proposed and final changes published to the official Acquisition.gov page.
