For the actual revisions and/or 

amendments made by these FAR rules,

Item I—Applicability of Small Business 

Regulations Outside the United States 

(FAR Case 2016–002) 

This final rule amends the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to give 

agencies the tools they need, especially 

the ability to use set-asides, to maximize 

opportunities for small businesses 

outside the United States or its outlying 

areas, as defined in FAR part 2. Prior to 

this rule, the FAR stated that the small 

business programs do not apply outside 

of the United States (FAR 19.000(b)). 

This rule supports the Small Business

including overseas contracts in agency 

small business contracting goals.
