FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 203: Improper Business Practices and Personal Conflicts of Interest › Subpart 203.5

DFARS 203.570-3 Contract clause.

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 to include the clause at 252.203-7001, which prohibits persons convicted of fraud or other defense-contract-related felonies, in most solicitations and contracts above the simplified acquisition threshold. The clause is not required for solicitations and contracts for commercial products or commercial services. This matters because it affects which contracts will contain this prohibition.

Applies to: Solicitations and contracts exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, except those for commercial products or commercial services

What it requires

  • Use the clause at 252.203-7001 in all solicitations and contracts exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, except solicitations and contracts for commercial products or commercial services.
