FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 1: Federal Acquisition Regulations System

FAR 1.000 Scope of part.

The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.

In plain English

This section explains that FAR Part 1 covers the basic policies and general information about the Federal Acquisition Regulations System, including its purpose, authority, applicability, and how it is issued and maintained. It also notes that Subparts 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 set out administrative procedures for keeping the FAR System running. For contractors, this is background information about how the FAR itself is organized and managed, not a rule you must follow.
