FDA Acquisition Policy and Procedures
FDA procurement activities are governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). These regulations are implemented and supplemented, as necessary, by the Department of Health and Human Services Acquisitions Regulations (HHSAR). FDA OAGS supplements the FAR and HHSAR with local FDA policies, such as Staff Manual Guides (SMGs); Policy and Procedure Memorandums (PPMs); and Policy Flashes (PFs).
