What do the supplied sources say about federal, state, and local government contracting?

What do the supplied sources actually cover?

The supplied evidence supports a narrow federal answer, not a three-way federal-state-local comparison. The FAR Foreword says the FAR is the primary regulation for all executive agencies when they acquire supplies and services with appropriated funds, and Part 1 says the Federal Acquisition Regulations System exists to publish uniform policies and procedures for acquisition by all executive agencies. Part 1 also states that agency acquisition regulations may implement or supplement the FAR, but the FAR System does not include internal agency guidance of the type described in 1.301(a)(2). The same sources describe federal acquisition goals such as best value, integrity, fairness, openness, and competition. Subpart 6.3 addresses other than full and open competition within the federal system. None of the supplied sources describe state or local procurement rules, so any state-versus-local comparison would require separate state or municipal authority.
