Based on this implied authority, the FAR council promulgated an expansive commercial exemption for subcontracts. Because SCA was not among them, FASA gave rise to the implication that SCA might not apply to the acquisition of commercial services. FASA exempted commercial items from most procurement-related laws and regulations, and, while leaving some discretion to the regulators, or mandated only four clauses. A principal thrust of FASA was to reform Government contracting by encouraging the use of commercial practices in the acquisition of commercial items. In October of 1994, Congress passed the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (“FASA”), which was among the most significant pieces of legislation affecting Federal procurement. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth! Government programs, once launched, never disappear. No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.
