FAR 1.6 is the rule that explains who can sign contracts for the government. It helps make sure the right people are in charge.
FAR 1.6 is about who has the power to speak or act for the government in contracts. This rule says only certain people, like Contracting Officers, can make deals or changes. Others must follow the rules and can't promise anything. It's like only the team captain can call the plays—everyone else helps, but can’t make game-time decisions. This protects both the government and contractors.
FAR 1.6 explains who has the power to make decisions in government contracts. It says only certain people, called Contracting Officers, can sign contracts and make changes. Think of them like the team captain—they follow the rules and make sure everything is done right. Others can help, but the Contracting Officer is in charge. This keeps the process fair and safe.
Many people misunderstand FAR 1.6 by thinking it gives them power to change rules on their own. One big mistake is forgetting that flexibilities must still follow the law. Another is not getting help from legal or policy experts before using discretion. These errors can lead to rule-breaking or delays. FAR 1.6 is about smart choices, not skipping steps. Always use care and ask questions when unsure. Being careful helps contracts stay fair, legal, and on time.
