- (b) **Deviations.**
  - (1) **Federal Acquisition Regulation deviations.** When a GSAR provision or clause is used with an authorized deviation in lieu of a FAR provision or clause in a solicitation or contract, it shall be identified by—
    - (i) **The addition of “(FAR DEVIATION)” after the date of the GSAR provision or clause.**
    - (ii) The addition of standardized language at the beginning of the prescription that reads “FAR deviation. GSA has a deviation from FAR (provision or clause number) . . .”.
  - (2) **General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation deviations.** When a GSAR provision or clause is used with an authorized deviation in a solicitation or contract, it shall be identified by—
    - (i) **The addition of “(GSAR DEVIATION)” after the date of the GSAR provision or clause.**
    - (ii) The addition of standardized language at the beginning of the prescription that reads “GSAR deviation. GSA has a deviation from GSAR (provision or clause number) . . .”.
- (c) **Alternates.** When a GSAR provision or clause is used with an alternate in a solicitation or contract, it shall be identified by the basic provision or clause citation and the alternate label (e.g., 552.211-77, Packing List (FEB 1996) Alternate I (MAY 2003)). The alternate label consists of the word “Alternate”, the alternate number, and date (e.g., Alternate I (MAY 2003)).
