Sec. 401.101  Purpose.





    (a) The AGAR provides for the codification and publication of 

uniform policies and procedures for acquisitions by contracting 

activities within USDA.

    (b) The purpose of the AGAR is to implement the Federal Acquisition 

Regulation (FAR), where further implementation is needed, and to 

supplement the FAR when coverage is needed for subject matter not 

covered in the FAR. The AGAR is not by itself a complete document, as it 

must be used in conjunction with the FAR.
