Commercial Acquisitions; FAR Sections Affected: 52.212-3(b)(2)

The Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 reformed Federal acquisition statutes to encourage and facilitate the acquisition of commercial items and services by the Federal Government. Accordingly, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) was amended to include streamlined/simplified procedures for the acquisition of commercial items. As part of the FAR streamlined/simplified procedures, FAR Provision 52.212-3, “Offeror Representations and Certifications – Commercial Items,” was implemented to combine the multitude of individual provisions used in Government solicitations into a single provision for use in commercial acquisitions.
