FAR 1.405 explains the rules for getting permission to use different buying strategies when regular rules don't fit well. It helps make sure choices are fair and smart.
FAR 1.405 tells you what to do if a rule in the FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) conflicts with another rule. It means: follow the one that fits best, but don’t change the rules on your own. Always ask the main office before making changes. This keeps government contracts fair, clear, and consistent. FAR 1.405 helps new program managers and acquisition pros understand how to handle rule conflicts safely.
FAR 1.405 tells you what to do if there’s a mistake in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). It says only the right people can fix errors. Others can’t change the rules on their own. This keeps the rules clear and fair for everyone in government contracting. If you see a mistake, report it to the right office—don’t try to fix it yourself.
Many people misunderstand FAR 1.405 by thinking they can skip or change rules they don’t like. One big mistake is trying to change a regulation without approval. Another common error is treating guidance as optional when it must be followed. These slip-ups can lead to delays or contract issues. It's important to know the difference between a rule and a suggestion. Following FAR 1.405 carefully helps agencies stay compliant and avoid costly mistakes in the acquisition process.
