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 allows an agency head to create a contract adjustment board that can approve and direct actions under Subpart 50.1. The board's decisions are final and cannot be appealed, but the board can reconsider and change its own decisions. The board sets its own procedures and has authority to do what is necessary to carry out its functions.
