Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement

The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) is a set of rules that guides the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) in how it purchases goods and services. It complements the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which governs government procurement overall. DFARS provides specific policies tailored to the unique needs of the DoD, ensuring national security and efficient use of taxpayer money. It covers topics like contract management, supplier qualifications, and compliance with defense-related laws, helping to ensure that the DoD acquires what it needs effectively and responsibly.
