FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 203: Improper Business Practices and Personal Conflicts of Interest › Subpart 203.10
DFARS 203.1004 Contract clauses.
The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.
In plain English
This section tells contracting officers which DFARS clauses to include in certain solicitations and contracts. It matters to contractors because it determines whether they will see the Agency Office of the Inspector General clause and, for larger non-commercial contracts, the Display of Hotline Posters clause instead of the comparable FAR clause.
Applies to: Solicitations and contracts that include FAR 52.203-13, and solicitations and contracts over $7.5 million that are not for commercial products or commercial services
Key terms: 252.203-7003 · Agency Office of the Inspector General · 52.203-13 · Contractor Code of Business Ethics and Conduct · 252.203-7004
