Title: Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR); FAR Case 2012-032, Higher-Level Contract Quality Requirements 
Abstract:

DoD, GSA, and NASA issued a proposed rule to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation to clarify when to use higher-level quality standards in solicitations and contracts, and to update the examples of higher-level quality standards by revising obsolete standards and adding two new industry standards that pertain to quality assurance for avoidance of counterfeit items. These standards will be used to help minimize and mitigate counterfeit items or suspect counterfeit items in Government contracting.
