Use this procedure to import Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses and provisions into Costpoint via the Manage FAR Library or Manage Supplemental Regulations Library screen.

This procedure is applicable to .csv files downloaded from the Deltek Costpoint Document Resources page (https://deltek.custhelp.com/app/CPDocRes) of Deltek Support Center.

These files are already formatted as input files that can be readily imported into Costpoint. Once you have imported the files, Costpoint updates the Manage FAR Library or Manage Supplemental Regulations Library screen with the information you imported. Only clauses/provisions that do not previously exist will be imported in the process.

Note: If you are creating input files from scratch, see the input file guide and additional information here:
