What the agency says

GSA is proposing to amend the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) part 541 which outlines procedures and guidance for the procurement of utility services. GSA guidance does not apply to agencies using their special authorities listed in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) section 41.103(a)(2) and (3). This proposed rule would align the GSAR with the FAR Council's proposed rule for FAR part 41.
