I was just perusing the GSA Acquisition Library and could not find a single class deviation that is currently effective. Can someone from GSA confirm that? I'm somewhat incredulous because DoD has 30 class deviations that are currently effective--one of which is 12 years old!

I'm not surprised. DOD regulates acquisition more than any other agency and is constantly issuing new regulations, and Congress enacts many acquisition laws that apply only to DOD. I know that DOD is frustrated with the process of trying to get changes made to the FAR, which get hung up in the GSA general counsel's office, sometimes for months. I think they are bypassing the two-council process by putting changes in the DFARS.
If we ever really did have a single, governmentwide acquisition regulation, we no longer do.
