FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 1: Federal Acquisition Regulations System › Subpart 1.1

FAR 1.110 Positive law codification.

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 certain general and permanent laws about public buildings, property, and works were revised and enacted as title 40 of the U.S. Code, and laws about public contracts were revised and enacted as title 41. It also provides a table cross-referencing the historical titles of those acts to their current locations in title 40 or title 41. For contractors, this matters because it shows where the underlying statutory authority for federal contracting rules now resides.

Applies to: The general body of federal public contracts and public buildings laws
