FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 7: Acquisition Planning › Subpart 7.1

FAR 7.107-1 General.

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 when the consolidation and bundling requirements of FAR 7.107 apply and when they do not. If a requirement is both consolidated and bundled, the agency must follow the bundling guidance in 7.107-3, 7.107-4, and 7.107-5. Several situations are exempt from these requirements, such as cost comparisons under OMB Circular A-76, certain orders under task-order or delivery-order contracts, and requirements with a mandatory source.

What it requires
