FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 53: Forms › Subpart 53.1

FAR 53.108 Recommendations concerning 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 explains how people who use the FAR can suggest changes to the forms it prescribes or references, such as creating new forms or revising, eliminating, or consolidating existing ones. It matters to contractors only indirectly, because it describes an internal recommendation process rather than imposing any requirement on contractors.

Applies to: Users of the FAR, including executive agencies and other parties
