Title: Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR); FAR Case 2019-001, Analysis for Equipment Acquisitions 
Abstract:

DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to amend the FAR by implementing section 555 of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act for FY 2018 (Pub. L. 115-254), which requires equipment to be acquired using the method of acquisition most advantageous to the Government based on a case-by-case analysis of costs and other factors.  Section 555 requires the methods of acquisition to be compared in the analysis to include, at a minimum:  (1) purchase; (2) long-term lease or rental; (3) short-term lease or rental; (4) interagency acquisition; or, (5) acquisition agreements with a State or local government. Section 555 exempts certain acquisitions from this required analysis.
