The FAR is Lava
Learn the FAR and RFO through current events in federal procurement.
The FAR is Lava is a federal procurement podcast focused on helping acquisition professionals understand the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) and the latest changes shaping government contracting.
Each episode uses current events, bid protests, policy changes, and GAO protests to make the FAR more practical and easier to follow.
We break down what changed, why it matters, and what contracting professionals should be paying attention to.
If you work in federal acquisition or GovCon and want a faster way to keep up with the FAR, RFO, and procurement news, The FAR is Lava is built for you.
