The US government just updated its main purchasing rulebook. It's mostly small changes.

The US government's main purchasing rulebook, the Federal Acquisition Regulation, just got an update. This document introduces a series of minor adjustments to how federal agencies buy goods and services.

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) is the instruction manual for all US government purchases. Every change, no matter how small, affects how billions of dollars are spent and what kinds of companies can sell to the government. These updates are usually technical and boring, but they can slowly shift who gets contracts and what technologies the government buys.
