FAR 1—Federal Acquisition Regulations System
Contents
- 1.000
Scope of part.
FAR 1.000 is the gateway provision for FAR Part 1, and it explains what this part is about and how it fits into the broader Federal Acquisition Regulation System. It states that Part 1 provides basic policies and general information on the system’s purpose, authority, applicability, issuance, arrangement, numbering, dissemination, implementation, supplementation, maintenance, administration, and deviation. In practical terms, this section tells readers that Part 1 is not a procurement procedure for buying supplies or services; instead, it is the framework for how the FAR itself is organized, controlled, updated, and used across the federal acquisition community. It also points readers to Subparts 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4, which contain the administrative procedures for maintaining the FAR System. For contracting officers, contractors, and agency acquisition personnel, this section matters because it establishes the rules for how FAR requirements are created, published, interpreted, supplemented, and deviated from, which affects compliance, consistency, and the legitimacy of acquisition actions.
