## Resource

In this episode, we discuss the streamlining of FAR Part 49 under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO), which reduced the administrative "fluff" while keeping all existing legal termination clauses intact. Additionally, we analyze the substantive updates to FAR Part 12 concerning terminations for cause.
