FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 204: Administrative and Information Matters › Subpart 204.2

DFARS 204.203 Taxpayer identification information.

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 says that when a contract includes the System for Award Management (SAM) provision at FAR 52.204-7, the usual FAR 4.203(b) procedure for taxpayer identification information does not apply. Instead, the payment office gets the taxpayer identification number and type of organization from the SAM database. This matters because contractors do not need to provide that information separately when the SAM provision is in the contract.

Applies to: Contracts that include the provision at FAR 52.204-7, System for Award Management
