FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 211: Describing Agency Needs › Subpart 211.2

DFARS 211.204 Solicitation provisions and 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 to use a specific provision when a contract requires specifications, standards, or data item descriptions that are not listed in the Acquisition Streamlining and Standardization Information System database. For contractors, it means the solicitation may include a clause about examining those documents, so you should know where and how to review them.

Applies to: Contracting officers preparing solicitations and contracts that require unlisted specifications, standards, or data item descriptions
