FedLift – Government contractors sometimes refer to “the FAR” and “the C.F.R.” as though they are two different things. In fact, the FAR and the various agency FAR supplements—like the DFARS and VAAR—are all part of the Code of Federal Regulations, just like the SBA’s regulations that contractors sometimes call “the C.F.R.” Understanding where the FAR and FAR supplements fit within the broader federal legal framework will allow government contractors to speak more accurately and authoritatively about the rules.
