Title: ●Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR); FAR Case 2017-017, Rental Cost Analysis in Equipment Acquisitions 
Abstract:

DoD, GSA, and NASA are issuing a proposed rule to ensure short-term rental agreements are considered as part of the decision whether to lease or purchase equipment.  This rule proposes to amend the FAR to add a factor to consider the cost-effectiveness of short-term versus long-term agreements (e.g., leases and rentals) to the list of minimum factors to be considered when deciding to lease or purchase equipment.
