We analyze major shifts in FAR Part 15 and 19, such as the replacement of communications with discretionary clarifications and the end of the \"once an 8(a), always an 8(a)\" rule. We also highlight the significant threshold increases for certified cost and pricing data and cost accounting standards (CAS), and the broader discretion given to Contracting Officers.
