Excerpt from Acquisition Guideline, Vol. 62: January 1986 The purpose of this Guideline is to consolidate National Park Service acquisition policy and procedural guidance into a single document. This Guideline implements and supplements the Federal Acquisition Regulation (far) and the Department of the Interior Acquisition Regulations (diar) as well as other Federal and agency specific requirements. The Guideline addresses a wide range of acquisition-related topics. Some chapters address program and/or technical management responsibilities and requirements, others address internal contracting functions which may be of little interest for those outside of the contracting activity. A responsibilities section has been incorporated into each chapter so that you will be able to identify at, a glance, those topic areas in Which you hold responsibilities. Several of the chapters have been released previously in the form of Special or Staff Directives or memoranda signed by the Directorate. In these instances, the previous policy issuance has been identified at the beginning of the Chapter as well as instructions concerning its disposition.
