FAR 1.104 is the rule that shows you where to find the rules for buying things in the government. It helps you know what to do and where to look.
FAR 1.104 tells us that the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) has the rules the government uses to buy things. It says if something is covered in the FAR, you should follow it. If it’s not covered, use good judgment and follow similar rules. Think of it like a guidebook—when there are no clear steps, make smart choices based on what’s already in the guide. This helps keep government buying fair and honest.
FAR 1.104 says the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) applies to most U.S. government contracts. This means if you sell goods or services to the government, you must follow these rules. Think of it like playing a game—you need to know the rules to play fair and win. FAR 1.104 helps everyone understand which rules matter and when to use them in buying and managing contracts.
When working with FAR 1.104, a common mistake is ignoring the FAR’s authority and legal weight. Some users treat it like flexible advice instead of a binding rule. Others jump into complex parts of the FAR without first reading this section, missing key guidance on how the FAR works. Another big mistake is assuming agency policies can override FAR rules—they can’t. Understanding this section helps everyone follow the right steps and avoid problems later.
