Supplements
As the original purpose of the FAR was to consolidate the numerous individual agency regulations into one comprehensive set of standards which would apply government-wide, officially individual agencies are discouraged from issuing supplemental regulations. However, nearly every major cabinet-level department (and many agencies below them) has issued such regulations, which often place further restrictions or requirements on contractors.
One of the best-known examples of an agency supplement is the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (or DFARS), which is used by the Department of Defense.
The most common format for agency FAR supplements is to follow the basic FAR format. To continue the example above, the companion DFARS section on lobbying costs is DFARS Subpart 231, Section 205, Subsection 22 (referenced as DFARS 231.205-22).
