FAR 1.201-1 explains who must follow the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). It says everyone involved in buying goods or services for the government—like contracting officers and program managers—must follow these rules. Think of it like a rulebook everyone agrees to use when shopping for the government, so things stay fair and legal.
FAR 1.201-1 tells you who makes the rules for federal contracts and how those rules are used. It says the FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) is the main rulebook. Agencies must follow it when buying goods or services. Think of it like the game rules for how the government shops smart and fair.
Many people misunderstand FAR 1.201-1 by skipping key rules or thinking it only applies to contracting officers. One big mistake is ignoring that FAR rules guide everyone involved in federal buying—not just one person. Another common error is not reading the FAR hierarchy, which tells you what to follow first. These mix-ups can lead to delays or rule-breaking. Always check the FAR basics and know who must follow them. Clear understanding helps avoid problems and keeps federal work on track.
