FAR + GSAM Combo, January 2010
Overview
The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) contains the uniform policies and procedures for acquisitions by executive agencies of the federal government. The FAR is issued and maintained by the Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. This CCH volume reproduces the FAR and all amendments to the regulations issued through January 1, 2010, along with an easy-to-use topical index. Sources of the amended text are listed in brackets along with the date of issuance and the effective date for all sections changed since the initial text of FAR appeared in the Federal Register of September 19, 1983.
This new January 1, 2010 edition reflects all of the changes contained in Federal Acquisition Circulars 2005-31 through 2005-38, including new reporting requirements related to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the use of contractor performance information in the evaluation and award process, prohibitions on contracting with inverted domestic corporations, and many others.
The 2009 GSAM incorporates the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) as well as internal agency acquisition policy. GSAR material is distinguished from policy in the text from those that apply internally to GSA. Rules that require publication are those that affect GSA’s business partners (e.g., prospective offerors, contractors) and those that apply to acquisition of leasehold interests in real property. Content is adddressed to the Contracting Officer except where specifically indicated.
