Overview
FAR 42.1201 is currently designated as "[Reserved]," meaning it serves as a placeholder within the Federal Acquisition Regulation to maintain numerical consistency without containing active regulatory text.
Key Rules
- Placeholder Status: The section contains no enforceable rules, definitions, or procedures at this time.
- Structural Integrity: Use of "[Reserved]" allows the FAR to skip a specific number while preserving the overall hierarchy of Subpart 42.12 (Novation and Change-of-Name Agreements).
- Reference Guidance: Users must look to the surrounding sections, such as FAR 42.1202, for active requirements regarding corporate successions and name changes.
Practical Implications
- Contracting officers and contractors have no compliance obligations or reporting requirements specifically under this citation.
- When citing authorities for novation or change-of-name agreements, practitioners should avoid referencing this section as it provides no legal or procedural basis for action.
