Abstract
Acquisition reform initiatives fundamentally
transformed the protocols and
processes the U.S. federal government
utilizes to procure billions of dollars worth
of goods and services every year. Reforms
provided under the Federal Acquisition
Streamlining Act (FASA) and the Federal
Acquisition Reform Act (FARA), along with
ensuing regulatory provisions in the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR), created
more business-to-business–like contracting
procedures. One such procedure is the FAR
13.5 “Test Program for Commercial Items.”
FAR 13.5 allows the utilization of simplified
acquisition procedures for all commercialitem-
designated goods and services up to
and including $6.5 million.
