In this episode, we dive into the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) to explain
how FAR Part 8 has been completely restructured, consolidating three FAR
parts into one and moving Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) ordering procedures
out of the FAR and into the GSAM. We detail essential shifts for acquisition
professionals, including the new required-use contract hierarchy, defense-specific deviations, and the strict three-day timeline for providing brief
explanations to unsuccessful quoters.
