The Federal Acquisition Regulations System consists of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which is the primary document, and agency acquisition regulations that implement or supplement the FAR. The FAR System does not include internal agency guidance of the type described in 1.301 (a) (2).
In addition, the FAR identifies members and roles of the "acquisition team." The FAR also addresses the acquisition process, from acquisition planning to contract formation and contract management.
The FAR provides uniform acquisition policies and procedures for use by all Executive agencies. An electronic version of the official FAR is available at www.ecfr.gov, under Title 48, Chapter 1. The GSA version of the FAR is available at www.acquisition.gov. For DoD class deviations from the FAR or DFARS, see Class Deviations.
