In plain terms. FEHBAR governs acquisition for the Federal Employees Health Benefits program, applied with the FAR. It covers contracts with health-insurance carriers serving federal employees.
Who it applies to. Health-insurance carriers and related contractors in the FEHB program.
What it requires. Comply with the FAR, then FEHBAR terms. Because the program handles enrollee health and personal data, expect privacy, security, and breach-handling requirements, with health-data rules in the background.
Why it matters. Enrollee health and personal data makes protection a core obligation for FEHB contracts.
Citation. FEHBAR, the Federal Employees Health Benefits Acquisition Regulation supplement to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), codified in the FAR System at Title 48 of the C.F.R.
