SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

The Federal Acquisition Streamlining 

Act of 1994 included Title VIII, entitled 

Commercial Items. The title made 

numerous additions and revisions to 

both the civilian agency and Armed 

Service acquisition statutes to encourage 

and facilitate the acquisition of 

commercial items and services by 

Federal Government agencies. 

To implement these changes, DoD, 

NASA, and GSA amended the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to include 

several streamlined and simplified 

clauses and provisions to be used in 

place of existing clauses and provisions. 

They were designed to simplify 

solicitations and contracts for 

commercial items. 

Information is used by Federal 

agencies to facilitate the acquisition of 

commercial items and services.

contractor’s purchasing system.
