- Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
- Identify and apply the appropriate Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses to meet compliance in contract formulation and award.
- Analyze Government Accountability Office reports / decisions to identify FAR compliance issues and contributing factors.
- Analyze the planned actions in soliciting and awarding contracts and make recommendations to ensure the government agency is in compliance with the FAR requirements.

Introduction
Developing a well-detailed proposal help outline strategic concepts, which help in
identifying key measures that promote positive organization development. Therefore making
better decisions requires a greater understanding of critical concepts, which define an open
operational environment where it is possible to achieve the intended goal. Effective contract
formulation provides a greater review of essential elements that define a successful understanding
of crucial details that define the successful integration of fundamental concepts that represent a
better engagement. Successful implementation of a new project requires a critical understanding
of important processes that determine better organizational development. Therefore to make better
decisions, there is a need to evaluate key contract compliance concepts to achieve the intended
organizational goals.
The appropriate FAR clauses to meet compliance in contract formulation and award
The procurement process in the United States is governed by strict regulations, which
provide a greater focus on critical processes that define a higher level of organization development.
The need to ensure that all loopholes are sealed and integrate better measures is essential and help
create a profoundly transformed setting where it is easier to achieve the intended purpose. The
Federal Acquisition regulations provide a strategic emphasis on fundamental concepts that define
a higher evaluation of processes that determine successful project development (Ginsberg & Bohn,
2012).
The Federal Acquisition Regulations System is developed to create a significant
environment where it is possible to code and publish uniform policies and procedures for
acquisition by executive agencies. The FAR is the primary document, which provides basic

guidelines, which help in creating a profoundly transformed understanding of critical elements that
define positive development. Therefore there is a need to ensure that appropriate FAR clauses are
developed to provide a high level of compliance to have a successful event.
Focusing on accurate information is based on a strategic understanding of critical elements,
which help in defining a strong emphasis on critical factors that differentiate successful process
development. Therefore having a successful process is based on the ability to integrate essential
clauses that help explain a greater understanding of the need to organize information and ensure
that there is a higher level of compliance across relevant. Therefore the provisions that will form
the basis of FAR and proposal development will include FAR §§ 15.203, 15.204, 15.205, 15.206
and FAR §§ 15.303. These clauses provide essential information regarding the explanation of
important elements, which provide a strong emphasis on critical factors that define a highly
successful business development; each of the clauses must be complied with in order to ensure
that better processes are integrated where it would be possible to achieve the set outcomes (Fawzy
et al., 2016).
FAR §§ 15.203 provides focus on the requests of the proposal. The primary objective that
is being evaluated in this case is to solicit bids for the new project thus there is need to ensure that
the request for proposal (RFP) that is drafted can identify essential elements that help in
maintaining a strong emphasis on t...
