Hello and thank you for joining us for our first seven Episodes of Fun with the FAR Season 10!
Our next session will cover: FAR Part 15 (Contracting by Negotiation)

FAR
  • Suspensions and debarments should be requested and issued only as a means to protect the integrity of the Acquisition System and not for purposes of punishment. FAR 9.402.
