The most recent release of the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) delivers major advances in federal acquisition, especially in commercial buying. This overhaul streamlines processes, enhances efficiency, and better aligns acquisition practices with the commercial marketplace—giving professionals greater flexibility and tools to succeed.

This is the first of a series of blog posts on the latest happenings regarding the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO), previously (and sometimes still) referred to as FAR 2.0. Every second Monday I’ll be publishing a brief, comprehensive, and hopefully interesting summary of developments over the preceding two weeks.

A new version of Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 10 removes prescriptive requirements and adds a "practitioner album" with the goal of streamlining research processes.

This week on Fed Gov Today, federal acquisition and technology leaders explore the intersection of innovation and efficiency across government. Rich Persinger, General Manager for Federal Civilian and Intelligence at HP, outlines how artificial intelligence is already transforming mission delivery and enterprise IT across agencies. Larry Allen, Associate Administrator for Government-wide Policy at the General Services Administration, provides an inside look at the “Revolutionary FAR Overhaul,” a sweeping modernization of the government’s procurement playbook. Together, these conversations chart a course for smarter spending, stronger partnerships, and more agile acquisition strategies across the federal enterprise.
