Overview
FAR 15.301 is currently designated as "[Reserved]," meaning it serves as a placeholder within the Federal Acquisition Regulation and contains no active regulatory text.
Key Rules
- No Active Requirements: This section currently holds no mandates, definitions, or procedural instructions for contracting officers or contractors.
- Structural Preservation: The "Reserved" status is used to maintain the numerical sequence of FAR Part 15, Subpart 15.3 (Source Selection), ensuring that subsequent section numbers remain consistent.
- Future Provisioning: The FAR Council retains this space for the potential future insertion of new regulations without necessitating a complete renumbering of the subpart.
Practical Implications
- Compliance Neutral: Contracting parties have no compliance obligations or reporting requirements stemming from this section.
- Navigation: Users should proceed to FAR 15.302 and subsequent sections for substantive guidance on source selection policies and procedures.
