DFARS 204.7109 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 when to include two specific DFARS clauses in solicitations and contracts. It matters to contractors because it determines whether payment terms for items not separately priced, or billing instructions for cost-type and labor-hour contracts, will appear in their contract.
Applies to: Contracting officers issuing solicitations and contracts
Key terms: solicitations · contracts · contract line or subline item · cost-reimbursement contract · time-and-materials contract
