How does the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul change federal procurement?

Acquisition.gov describes the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul as the first-ever comprehensive overhaul of the FAR under the President’s Executive Order, Restoring Common Sense to Federal Procurement. Led by OFPP and the FAR Council, the effort is designed to return the FAR to its statutory roots, rewrite it in plain language, and remove most non-statutory rules. The practical result is a smaller regulatory core paired with separate implementation tools. The RFO page directs users to overhauled FAR parts and agency deviations, a FAR Companion with best practices and practical advice, a Category Management Buying Guide, practitioner albums, searchable RFO text, FAQs, and policy documents. The FAR Part Deviation Guidance page shows the rollout is organized by part and includes issuance dates plus separate agency deviations for many agencies. In short, the overhaul changes procurement by moving practical guidance out of the FAR and into non-regulatory resources while keeping the regulatory text focused on statutory requirements.
