FAR Part 31 on Acquisition.gov

No proposed rule yet

As of 2 November 2026, eight of the twelve announced proposed rules have been published, and none of them covers Part 31. It is expected in one of the 4 still to come.

Until a final rule takes effect, the codified FAR governs Part 31, unless your agency has adopted the overhaul's model text by class deviation.

Part 31 has no proposed rule yet. Leave an address and we will email you when one is published.

One email each time it changes, and nothing else: this is not the weekly list. We send a link first to confirm the address is yours, and every alert carries a link that stops it. What we keep.

What governs today: a proposed rule governs nothing. The codified FAR does, unless your agency has adopted a class deviation. Other agencies publish their deviations on their own sites and on Acquisition.gov.
