## Abstract

This final rule is issued pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994, Public Law 103-355 (the Act). The Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council is amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) regarding the scope of a multiple award preference for indefinite-quantity contracts. This final rule provides that the multiple award preference established by the FAR does not apply to architect-engineer contracts subject to the procedures of the FAR. This regulatory action was subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993, but is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
