The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) contains the policies and procedures for acquisitions by executive agencies of the federal government. The Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration issue and maintain the FAR, which serves as the primary source for federal government contracting regulations.

The January 2025 CCH Federal Acquisition Regulation reproduces the FAR and all amendments issued prior to January 1, 2025, along with an easy-to-use topical index. This is an essential resource for FAR requirements and compliance. This updated volume provides citations to the rules amending each regulation—including all contract clauses and provisions—issued since the initial text of the FAR was published in the Federal Register on September 19, 1983.

If your business is subject to federal government contracting laws, whether as a prime contractor, subcontractor, or otherwise, this is the gold-standard reference for FAR guidelines and government contracting regulations. It is also an ideal resource for federal acquisition training.

The January 2025 Edition of the FAR implements the latest final rules, interim rules, and changes on such topics as:

• Added and Revised Definitions and Contract Clauses
