Federal Acquisition Regulation The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) is the primary regulation for use by all executive agencies in their acquisition of supplies and services with appropriated funds. The FAR also contains standard solicitation provisions and contract clauses and the various agency FAR supplements.
The FAR contains the principal rules of the federal acquisition system, but it is not the only authority governing acquisitions of goods and services by executive branch agencies. Statutes, agency FAR supplements, other agency regulations, and guidance documents may also apply.
The FAR provides uniform acquisition policies and procedures for use by all Executive agencies. An electronic version of the official FAR is available at www.ecfr.gov, under Title 48, Chapter 1. The GSA version of the FAR is available at www.acquisition.gov. For DoD class deviations from the FAR or DFARS, see Class Deviations.
