            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM

 

                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION

 

PART 1_FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM--Table of Contents

 

                   Subpart 1.4_Deviations from the FAR

 

Sec. 1.402  Policy.



    Unless precluded by law, executive order, or regulation, deviations 

from the FAR may be granted as specified in this subpart when necessary 

to meet the specific needs and requirements of each agency. The 

development and testing of new techniques and methods of acquisition 

should not be stifled simply because such action would require a FAR 

deviation. The fact that deviation authority is required should not, of 

itself, deter agencies in their development and testing of new 

techniques and acquisition methods. Refer to 31.101 for instructions 

concerning deviations pertaining to the subject matter of part 31, 

Contract Cost Principles and Procedures. Deviations are not authorized 

with respect to 30.201-3 and 30.201-4, or the requirements of the Cost 

Accounting Standards Board (CASB) rules and regulations (48 CFR Chapter 

99 (FAR Appendix)). Refer to 30.201-5 for instructions concerning 

waivers pertaining to Cost Accounting Standards.
