137 of title 10, and the National Aeronautics and Space Act 
of 1958 (42 U.S.C. 2451 et seq.), shall jointly issue and maintain 
in accordance with subsection (d) a single Government-wide 
procurement regulation, to be known as the Federal Acquisition

the specific and unique needs of the agency. 
(3) ENSURE CONSISTENT REGULATIONS.—The Administrator, 
in consultation with the Council, shall ensure that procurement 
regulations prescribed by executive agencies are consistent with 
the Federal Acquisition Regulation and in accordance with 
the policies prescribed pursuant to section 1121(b) of this title. 
(4) REQUEST TO REVIEW REGULATION.— 
(A) BASIS FOR REQUEST.—Under procedures the Adminis-
trator establishes, a person may request the Administrator 
to review a regulation relating to procurement on the basis 
that the regulation is inconsistent with the Federal Acquisi-

or does not, on its face, state a valid basis for the review, 
the Administrator shall complete the review not later than 
60 days after receiving the request. The time for completion 
of the review may be extended if the Administrator deter-
mines that an additional period of review is required. The 
Administrator shall advise the requester of the reasons 
for the extension and the date by which the review will 
be completed. 
(5) WHEN

IS
INCONSISTENT

NEEDS
TO
BE

relating to procurement is inconsistent with the Federal 
Acquisition Regulation or that the regulation otherwise should 
be revised to remove an inconsistency with the policies pre-
scribed under section 1121(b) of this title, the Administrator 
shall rescind or deny the promulgation of the regulation or 
take other action authorized under sections 1121, 1122(a) to 
(c)(1), 1125, 1126, 1130, 1131, and 2305 of this title as may

determines that the regulation, although not inconsistent with 
the Federal Acquisition Regulation or those policies, should 
be revised to improve compliance with the Regulation or poli-
cies, the Administrator shall take action authorized under sec-
tions 1121, 1122(a) to (c)(1), 1125, 1126, 1130, 1131, and 2305 
as may be necessary and appropriate.
