    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. The goal is to create a procurement system that is less bureaucratic and more aligned with the national interest. Any provisions in the FAR that are not required by law and do not enhance the system's functioning may be eliminated or set to expire within four years unless reviewed and renewed.
