DFARS 204.1703 Reporting requirements.

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 requires service contractors to report information in SAM when a contract or order exceeds $3 million and falls into certain service portfolio groups. Contractors must report annually by October 31 on services performed, including first-tier subcontracts, for the preceding Government fiscal year. For indefinite-delivery contracts, reporting is required for each qualifying order, not the basic contract.

Applies to: Service contractors with contracts or orders exceeding $3 million in specified service portfolio groups

  • Report information in SAM when contract or order exceeds $3 million and is for services in specified portfolio groups
  • Report annually by October 31 on services performed, including first-tier subcontracts, during the preceding Government fiscal year
