In this episode, we break down the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO), focusing on the new "mission first" philosophy and the streamlining of Parts 1 through 4 to reduce administrative clutter. We examine the reorganization of FAR Part 4 into acquisition life cycle phases and the "security exodus" that moved supply chain risk requirements to the newly created FAR Part 40. We also provide guidance on navigating the latest DFAR class deviations for DFARS parts 201 through 204.
