FAR 3.602 — Exceptions
Regulatory text. Not legal advice.
The agency head, or a designee not below the level of the head of the contracting activity, may authorize an exception to the policy in FAR 3.601 only if there is a most compelling reason to do so, such as when the Government’s needs cannot reasonably be otherwise met.
