The FAR Council has been rolling out piecemeal revisions to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) as directed by executive order “Restoring Common Sense to Federal Procurement.” For background on the broader goals and implications of this reform effort, see our earlier post, “Understanding the Overhaul of Federal Procurement Regulations.”
To date, the FAR Council has promulgated proposed revisions to Parts 1, 10, 11, 18, 34, 39, 43, and 52 of the FAR.

Below is a summary of the proposed revisions that federal contractors should be watching.
