Abstract
The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) have agreed on a final rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement Section 821 of the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act. The FAR rule explicitly states that performance-based contracting is the preferred method for acquiring services, enumerates an order of precedence, and further clarifies the documentation required in an acquisition plan when acquiring services.
