The FAR Doesn’t Have to Be Scary
The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) governs how the federal government buys goods and services—but let’s be honest, it’s over 2,000 pages long and reads like a legal manual. Most small businesses glaze over when they hear “FAR compliance,” but ignoring it isn’t an option if you want to play in this arena.
Here’s how we break it down:
Understand the Basics – FAR Parts 12, 13, and 15 deal with commercial item purchases, simplified acquisition procedures, and negotiated contracts. These are where most small businesses operate.
Know Your Clauses – FAR 52 clauses in your contract aren’t suggestions. They're binding and enforceable.
Stay Audit-Ready – From pricing structures to delivery timelines, being FAR-compliant means tracking everything and documenting it well.
At Sea Crest Procurement, we specialize in interpreting FAR into real-world application—so you can stay compliant, competitive, and confident. Government rules may be rigid, but with the right partner, they become manageable.
