The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) is the cornerstone of federal contracting, but with over 2,000 pages of complex rules, clauses, and cross-references, navigating it can be daunting. This course equips contracting professionals, compliance officers, attorneys, and small business contractors with the skills and strategies needed to efficiently locate, interpret, and apply FAR provisions to real-world contracting scenarios.

Participants will learn how the FAR is structured, how to quickly identify relevant parts, subparts, and clauses, and how to use electronic search tools to streamline research. The course will also cover related supplements (such as DFARS), the relationship between FAR clauses and solicitation/contract terms, and best practices for staying current with updates and revisions.
