FAR 7.301 Definitions.

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 points to definitions for terms used in this subpart, including 'inherently governmental activity.' The definitions are found in Attachment D of OMB Circular A-76 (Revised), dated May 29, 2003. It matters because it tells you where to look for the meaning of key terms rather than defining them directly in the FAR.
