The AIDAR is USAID's supplement to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). AIDAR information collection elements are for prudent management and administration of public funds under USAID contracts, to provide services to small businesses, benefits to contractor employees, or to determine contractor responsibility.
This form will decrease the burden and the information is being gathered to maintain a standardized form as the cover page of a binding contract between the government and the personal service contractor. A cover page form for personal services contractors was previously approved in the AIDAR.
