Defense Acquisition Regulations

Defense Acquisition Regulations (DAR) are guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to manage the procurement of goods and services. They aim to ensure that the acquisition process is efficient, fair, and accountable, while meeting the military's needs. These regulations cover everything from how contracts are awarded to how performance is evaluated. By providing a structured framework, DAR helps protect taxpayer interests and ensures compliance with federal laws, ultimately enhancing the quality and value of resources acquired for national defense.
