How to submit proposed changes to the FAR?

Hello Friends,

Someone please tell me how to submit proposed changes to the FAR.  I've submitted proposed changes to the agency but cannot find the POC for the FAR.

By the way, the changes I want to propose now are to provide direction for the use of a Tiered Set-Aside (also known as Cascading Set-Aside).  At this moment I have to spend a lot of time explaining tiers to every person who reviews or approves a document.

Thanks.

It's easier to explain how it works and why it's allowable than to try to change the FAR. Then copy your explanations for the next person. Mostly kidding  😜

You may submit your request to change the FAR by contacting the Office of Federal Procurement Policy:

Information on how the FAR is changed may be found in the FAR Operating Guide:

Thanks PolicyGuy!

Prior links sent me to Defense websites, but your link led me to the Council that led me to the FAR Council Members with email addresses (https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/procurement_far_members).  Now to write, edit, review, edit, review, edit, review... submit.

Joel Hoffman,

LOL!!!  Yes, I have the PDF and the email trails to forward on a moment's notice.
