# §1615.170. Applicability.


FAR [subpart 15.1](/cfr/48/subpart15.1.md) has no practical application to the FEHB Program because prospective contractors (carriers) are considered for inclusion in the FEHB Program according to criteria in 5 U.S.C. chapter [89](/cfr/48/ch89.md) and [5](/cfr/48/ch5.md) CFR [part 890](/cfr/48/part890.md) rather than by competition between prospective carriers.
