Federal Acquisition Regulation Council (FAR Council)

The Federal Acquisition Regulation Council (FAR Council) is a group consisting of representatives from key federal agencies that create, amend, and maintain the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The FAR is the primary set of rules governing how the U.S. government acquires goods and services. The FAR Council's role is to ensure these regulations are consistent, efficient, and fair across federal agencies, facilitating effective procurement processes. They coordinate policy updates, interpret regulations, and promote best practices to support transparent, competitive, and responsible government purchasing.
