What is the difference between FARS and Dfars?

The DFARS stands for Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement. This is essentially the same as the FAR except they are specifically geared toward Department of Defense contracts. It will be used in addition to the FAR if a vendor is going to be working with a defense agency.

Editor's Note: This post was originally published in March 2020 and has been updated for accuracy and comprehensiveness. FAR stands for Federal Acquisition Regulation. It is a set of rules issued to make a standard set of processes for government acquisitions. They are the guidelines for both vendors and the government to follow in regard to federal acquisitions. The FAR covers topics such as acquisition planning, contract administration, labor laws, simplified acquisition thresholds, and more. Contracting professionals and vendors are expected to be familiar with the FAR. The DFARS stands for Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement. This is essentially the same as the FAR except they are specifically geared toward Department of Defense contracts.

Did You Know

There are 53 parts to the FAR, each contains a variety of subparts and or clauses. A Part or subpart is a direction given directly to the government while clauses are contractually binding between the government and the vendor. Think of it as a set of laws, if you know the laws then you have a better chance of success. If you do not know the laws you have a better chance of breaking one and potentially disqualifying yourself from a contract opportunity. For a more in-depth overview of FAR, see our post from 2020 that highlights some of the most important parts.

FACT

As vendors read solicitation notices they will come across statements refining the

submission of company Representations and Certifications, also known as reps and certs.

Reps and certs are annual submissions that are part of the System for Award Management or SAM registration. By submitting a SAM registration your firm acknowledges all federal acquisition regulations or FAR, and will abide by them. At USFCR, we understand that most of our clients have not read all of the federal regulations, which is why our case management team is knowledgeable about the sections included inside SAM and makes sure your company is compliant based on your specific industry. A vendor can download a copy of the FAR Report or DFARS Report at www.sam.gov using the search records feature.

Back to Basics

Being prepared is an integral part of being a government contractor and you

should be prepared to know the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR).

The FAR provides government-wide uniform policies and procedures for acquisition. These regulations also play a role every time you bid on a contract - when a federal agency issues a solicitation, it specifies the applicable FAR provision(s). Being familiar with the FAR will not only cut down on the time it takes you to review solicitations, but can safeguard you from legal penalties.

Traveler reimbursement is based on the location of the work activities and not the accommodations, unless lodging is not available at the work activity, then the agency may authorize the rate where lodging is obtained. Unless otherwise specified, the per diem locality is defined as "all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city, including independent entities located within those boundaries." Per diem localities with county definitions shall include"all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city as well as the boundaries of the listed counties, including independent entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed counties (unless otherwise listed separately)." When a military installation or Government - related facility(whether or not specifically named) is located partially within more than one city or county boundary, the applicable per diem rate for the entire installation or facility is the higher of the rates which apply to the cities and / or counties, even though part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem locality.
