Part 47 has a proposed rule. Leave an address and we will email you when the final rule 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.
