Defense Acquisition Regulations System

The Defense Acquisition Regulations System (DARS) is a framework that governs how the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) acquires goods and services. It establishes rules and guidelines to ensure that purchases are made efficiently, transparently, and fairly. DARS helps manage contracts with private companies, ensuring taxpayer money is spent wisely while maintaining quality and compliance with legal standards. It encompasses various regulations, including the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), which tailors general federal procurement rules specifically for defense-related needs. Overall, DARS aims to optimize procurement processes while protecting the interests of the government and the public.
