THE IMPORTANCE OF FAR 52.301

Have you heard of the last FAR Part? Most have not. So, what is it?

It may be the most important but overlooked part of the FAR.

It is a 31-page fine print matrix of solicitation provisions and contract clauses. 

The best use of AI by the government and contractors is to ask for help identifying which solicitation provisions and contract clauses belong in which solicitation and contact. The matrix lists all the provisions and clauses and tells you when its use is required, required when applicable, and optional. The matrix then applies these criteria for each provision or clause to twenty types of procurement vehicles. 

The importance of getting the solicitation provisions and contract clauses right cannot be overstated. And AI should immensely help the government's and the contractor's obligations to follow the rules.
