Defense Acquisition Regulations (DAR)

Defense Acquisition Regulations (DAR) are a set of guidelines established by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to govern how the military acquires goods and services. These regulations ensure that procurement processes are fair, efficient, and cost-effective, while also maintaining standards for quality and accountability. DAR covers aspects such as bidding, contract negotiation, and compliance with laws. By following these regulations, the DoD aims to ensure that taxpayer money is spent wisely and that the armed forces receive the necessary tools and support to operate effectively.
