             Subpart 401.4_Deviations From the FAR and AGAR

 

Sec. 401.403  Individual deviations.



    In individual cases, deviations from either the FAR or the AGAR will 

be authorized only when essential to effect a necessary acquisition or 

where special circumstances make such deviations clearly in the best 

interest of the Government. Except for cost principles, HCA's may 

approve individual deviations from the AGAR, after coordinating with the 

General Counsel and the SPE. No deviations from the FAR or AGAR may be 

authorized at the contracting office level. A copy of each deviation and 

its supporting documentation shall be provided to the SPE. Deviations 

from the FAR shall not be made unless such action is authorized by the 

SPE after consultation with the Office of the General Counsel and any 

other appropriate office, on the basis of a written justification 

stating clearly the special circumstances involved.
