This initiative, known as the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul, aims to create a simpler, clearer, and more efficient rulebook for federal buying. Agencies are already transitioning to an authorized, streamlined version of the FAR while the formal rulemaking process is underway. To ensure comprehensive feedback, the OFPP is hosting a crowdsourcing campaign until January 12, 2026. This campaign invites all stakeholders to provide input on acquisition practices that should be started, stopped, continued, adjusted, or scaled to enhance federal buying. The OFPP is particularly interested in ideas that reduce costs, lessen burdens for government and businesses, increase competition, accelerate the acquisition process, identify conflicting legacy practices, and highlight effective current practices. The ultimate goal is to shape federal buying practices for future generations, fostering a new era of federal acquisition.
