Applicability of FAR PArt 12 to FAR 8.4 and 16.5
By napolik, February 16, 2016 in Schedules, GWACS, MACs, IDIQs
FAR 12.102, Applicability, states that
FAR 12.207, Contract Type, states at (b) (1) (ii) (C) (3) that

Question: Given FAR 12.102(b), why does FAR Part 12 address issues involving FAR 8.4 and 16.5?
Looking for answers to "why" questions like that one will drive you crazy.
Maybe I am missing something but it would seem that as FAR Part 16 is an “other” part of the FAR this paragraph of FAR 12.102 is the reason FAR Part 12 attempts to clarify applicability of FAR Part 8 and 16 in certain instances.…..
Thank you for using the future tense.
It doesn't make sense. I'm guessing the original intent got lost someplace along the way
Anyone ever hear of the rule that statutes, regulations, and contracts must be read and interpreted as a whole?
FAR 12.102(b) applies to "the policies and procedures for solicitation, evaluation, and award" while FAR 12.207 applies to "making a change" which occurs post-award. As such, I don't see how FAR 12.102(b) precludes FAR Part 12 from cross-referencing readers to FAR Subparts 8.4 and 16.5. If the point you're trying to make is that FAR 12.102(b) should restrict any references to Parts other than 13, 14, or 15, I think FAR 12.102(c) would address that concern (as another poster already pointed out).
