DFARS 204.2105 Solicitation provisions and 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 when to include three specific DFARS provisions and one clause about covered defense telecommunications equipment or services. It matters to contractors because these provisions and the clause will appear in solicitations and contracts, including commercial-item acquisitions and orders under BOAs and BPAs.

Applies to: Contracting officers preparing solicitations and awards, including commercial-item and order-based acquisitions
