Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)

The FAR was established to codify uniform policies for acquisition of supplies and services by executive agencies. It is issued and maintained jointly, pursuant to the OFPP Reauthorization Act, under the statutory authorities granted to the Secretary of Defense, Administrator of General Services and the Administrator, National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Statutory authorities to issue and revise the FAR have been delegated to the Procurement Executives in DOD, GSA and NASA. Small Businesses are encouraged to become familiar with these rules in order to understand the rules of federal acquisition.

• Standard Forms (SF) are required forms to be used by all agencies.
• Optional Forms (OF) are made available for use by all agencies but are not required.
• GSA Forms are those originating within GSA. They are most often used by GSA associates, contractors and customers.
