“All participants in the System are responsible for making acquisition decisions that deliver the best value product or service to the customer. Best value must be viewed from a broad perspective and is achieved by balancing the many competing interests in the System. The result is a system which works better and costs less.”
The FAR is codified
in Parts 1 through 53 of Title 48 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
The FAR is divided into X subchapters (A-H) and consists of XX total parts.
