SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In support 

of Executive Order 13985 of January 20, 

2021, Advancing Racial Equity and 

Support for Underserved Communities 

Through the Federal Government, a 

review of the standard forms covered by 

the FAR was conducted. The review 

focused on equity issues to remove 

barriers to access for underserved 

communities by identifying ways to 

improve the usability of the FAR 

standard forms. An organizational 

psychologist with over 20 years of 

consulting experience supporting 

commercial and federal organizations 

was part of the review team. 

The review resulted in the 

identification of potential changes to 

improve the accessibility of the FAR 

forms. The changes are considered best 

practices to support readability for a 

variety of individuals (visual disabilities 

and/or learning difficulties). Adopting 

these changes has the advantage of 

making the forms easier to read for 

everyone. 

DoD, GSA, and NASA agreed to apply 

a set of uniform visual improvements to 

the FAR standard forms. The six 

improvements are as follows: 

1. Replace text in all CAPS with 

standard title form text (i.e., for each 

word capitalize the first letter). Use bold 

text to identify titles. 

2. Use consistent font size; adjust 

form to 12-point text. 

3. Replace centered text with left 

justified. 

4. Replace italicized text with 

standard text. 

5. Increase the space between lines of 

text throughout the form. 

6. Move the Paperwork Reduction Act 

(PRA) statement to the end of the form 

for forms subject to the PRA. 

Other changes made to the FAR 

standard forms include updated 

citations, and editorial corrections. 

DoD, GSA, and NASA expect these 

changes, all of which comport with 

section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, 

will improve the forms usability and 

will be received well by members of the 

public and Government alike.
