The objectives of this research are: (1) to review the
initial development and drafting process of the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) , (2) to determine the extent of
progress that has been achieved thus far, (3) to identify
some of the handicaps now being encountered in the drafting
of the FAR, (4) to evaluate and compare the FAR coverage in
light of what it will supersede and (5) to evaluate the impact
of these elements on future acquisition managers.
The result of this research indicates that the impact on
acquisition managers in the way they conduct business will be
minor to moderate at most. The FAR will not radically change
the way procurement is being done, it will provide those involved
with a better regulation with which to do their job.
Those that are familiar with the current acquisition regulations
will have no problems in transitioning to the FAR since
the basic procedures and policies have not been changed, only
improved and made more comprehendable.
