FAR 1.201 tells you who makes the rules for government buying. It explains that the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) is the main rulebook for all federal contracts. Think of it like a playbook everyone must follow when working with the government. This part also says who’s in charge of keeping the rules up to date and making sure they’re followed.
A common mistake with FAR 1.201 is not understanding who’s in charge of what. Some think any federal worker can create rules, but only the FAR Council does that. Others forget to check if changes follow the right process. Skipping this can lead to rules that don’t follow the law. Also, professionals sometimes ignore updates, missing important changes. To stay compliant, always check if a rule is official, follow the right process, and stay current with FAR updates.
