FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 13: Simplified Acquisition Procedures › Subpart 13.3

FAR 13.307 Forms.

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 lists which forms may be used for simplified acquisitions, depending on whether the purchase is for commercial or non-commercial products and services. It tells contractors which standard forms they may see on solicitations, purchase orders, and modifications, and notes that agencies may use their own forms or automated formats instead. It matters because the form used affects how an offer, order, or modification is documented.

Applies to: Agencies and contractors using simplified acquisition procedures and the listed forms
