In this episode we feature ACT-IAC’s Acquisition and Innovation Forum's keynote fireside chat with Ann Marie Johnson and OMB/OFPP’s Mathew Blum on the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) to restore common sense, put mission first, and shift from compliance to empowered business judgment. Blum explains the executive order’s call for a simpler, clearer FAR structured for speed and describes streamlining the FAR to statutory roots, including deviations that reduced the FAR by about 25%. They discuss change management, learning resources, and mission measures of success, speed, reduced cost, and competition, including small business participation, and how AI could improve information access, accelerate tasks, lower costs, and help buyers find existing contract vehicles.
