SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Summaries for each FAR rule follow. For the 
actual revisions and/or amendments made by these FAR rules, refer to 
the specific item numbers and subjects set forth in the documents 
following these item summaries. FAC 2025-05 amends the FAR as follows:

Item I--Clarification of System for Award Management Preaward 
Registration Requirements (FAR Case 2023-018)

    This final rule adopts, without change, an interim rule that 
amended the FAR to change System for Award Management preaward 
registration requirements. Offerors are required to be registered at 
the time of proposal submission and at time of award, rather than 
continuously in between. This change is expected to have a positive 
impact on small businesses who have a minor lapse in registration.

Item II--Technical Amendments

    Administrative changes are made at FAR 32.907, 43.101, and 52.247-
60.

Director, Office of Government-wide Acquisition Policy, Office of
