    The Executive Order titled "Restoring Common Sense to Federal Procurement" aims to simplify and streamline the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), the set of rules governing how the Federal Government buys goods and services. The President has directed that within 180 days, agencies should revise the FAR to remove unnecessary rules, making it more effective and efficient.
