A. The Federal Government no longer produces a hard copy of the FAR.  By the time they are printed, the FAR has already changed multiple times.  The FAR is only produced in a paper copy by 3rd party vendors (see https://goo.gl/FdLeK8).

A: The Acquisition.gov team monitors the responsiveness of the website to determine that it is functioning optimally.

Please consider the following questions:

1) What browser are you using (ie Internet Explorer, edge, safari, etc.)?

If you are using Internet Explorer (IE), Microsoft has determined an end of life date for IE. We recommend changing to any other browser as soon as possible.

2) Are you VPN'd into a military network? 

VPN’s have a tendency to slow down all websites, including acquisition.gov

3) Have you tried accessing the website outside of the military network and/or tried a personal computer to determine if the issue is the computer you are using?

Typically, one or more of the issues above are the issue. The Acquisition.gov team monitors all "contact us" messages. We seldom see messages in reference to responsiveness (less than 1 per month). That normally means that responsiveness issues are isolated events.

If you have considered and tried to mitigate the issue using the about suggestions, please feel to “contact us”
