Did You Know? FUN with the FAR Session 1

Did You Know?
By: Daniel Kelly, Partner, McCarter & English

It was a privilege and a pleasure to guest host Steve Daoust’s first episode of Fun with the FAR – in full Star Trek uniform no less.  Steve takes us where no one has gone before through his novel and animated unpacking of all parts of the Federal Acquisition Regulation – the Bible for all members of the government contracts community.  In our episode, we concentrated on the bedrock parts of the FAR – Part 1 which sets out the guiding principles animating the FAR and its supplements, and Part 2 which provides definitions to key terms used throughout the FAR.  The session left me and I’m sure all viewers with a fresh and more knowledgeable perspective on the FAR as a whole.
