Abstract
The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council have agreed on a final rule to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to make the costs of pre- or post-award protests unallowable. An exception to this requirement is made for costs incurred to defend against a protest, if the costs are incurred pursuant to a written request from the contracting officer. This regulatory action was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993, and is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
