Unable to access the Department of War’s primary news release (war.gov) and the referenced PDF on media.defense.gov due to server access errors, preventing confirmation of the exact wording of the letter. Secondary government sources (Acquisition.gov and DAU) document the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Phase 1 deviations and agency rollout, and indicate agencies are using deviations pending formal rulemaking, but I could not retrieve the War Department’s specific letter that allegedly requests substantive input for Phase 2. Because the primary source cannot be accessed, this item should be retried.
