John Sisson Shares why The FAR Overhaul Is Not a Compliance Story

The Federal Acquisition Regulation is undergoing its most significant reset in decades. While much of the attention has focused on simplification and speed, the more profound impact is showing up in how agencies plan acquisitions, evaluate risk, and make award decisions.

This is not just a compliance exercise. It is a fundamental shift in how government contractors pursue, qualify, and win work.

Firms that understand how these changes alter buyer behavior are already adjusting how they capture opportunities and build proposals. Those that do not are experiencing the impact downstream — in missed forecasts, compressed proposal cycles, and uneven win rates.
