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 states a policy that businesses near a closing or realigning military installation, along with small and small disadvantaged businesses, should get the maximum practicable opportunity to take part in acquisitions supporting the closure or realignment. This matters because it tells contractors that acquisitions tied to base closure or realignment, including environmental restoration and mitigation work, are meant to include these businesses.
Applies to: Acquisitions supporting military installation closure or realignment
Key terms: base closure law · 10 U.S.C. 2687 · small disadvantaged businesses · maximum practicable opportunity · environmental restoration and mitigation
