Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the latest questions being asked about FAR Compliance

What is the Federal Acquisition Regulation?

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) is the regulatory compliance foundation comprised of the rules and requirements that the federal government and government contractors are obligated to comply with when pursuing, executing and performing contracts with the Federal government.

FAR 1.102(a) states “The vision for the Federal Acquisition System is to deliver on a timely basis the best value product or service to the customer, while maintaining the public’s trust and fulfilling public policy objectives. Participants in the acquisition process should work together as a team and should be empowered to make decisions within their area of responsibility.”

How is the FAR updated?

The FAR and related agency supplements are periodically revised to incorporate new legislation or changing agency procedures. These revisions or potential revisions are typically first published in the Federal Register through a rule-making process consisting of proposed, interim and final rules. The Federal Register can be found here.

Which FAR clauses are incorporated in contracts?

FAR clauses incorporated in contracts vary widely depending on the type of contract as well as applicability of various statutory and regulatory provisions. The FAR clauses subject to potential inclusion in contracts are contained in FAR Part 52 – Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses.

How do I know which FAR clauses may be applicable?

FAR clauses potentially applicable to a contract should be incorporated in the corresponding solicitation (RFQ, RFP or otherwise). Section I of the solicitation should provide a list of the FAR and other agency supplement clauses that may be applicable to the contract. Additional specific clauses may also be noted in other sections of the solicitation, e.g., Sections C, E, F and H.

Do FAR clauses and FAR requirements apply only to the prime contract?

FAR clauses and requirements apply, as applicable, to all federal government contracts, including subcontracts. Prime contractors are responsible for ‘flowing down’ and including applicable FAR clauses in subcontracts. Prime contractors failing to include applicable FAR clauses in subcontracts may nevertheless remain liable to the government for a subcontractor’s noncompliance.

What are FAR and DFAR Regulations?

The Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) are compliance requirements and are required by federal contractors to meet in order to be awarded the contract and keep it. Contractors who have signed these clauses in their contract are attesting that their organization is in full compliance with the FAR requirements.

Is the Federal Acquisition Regulation a law?

The Federal Acquisition Regulation is the principal set of rules regarding government procurement in the Unites States of America, and it’s codified at Chapter 1 under Title 48 of the Code of Federal Regulations, 48 CFR 1.
