FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 212: Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services › Subpart 212.6

DFARS 212.602 Streamlined evaluation of offers.

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 DFARS section adds extra evaluation criteria that contracting officers must consider when buying transportation and transportation-related services. It matters to contractors in that industry because their offers may be judged against these additional criteria, not just the standard ones.

Applies to: Acquisitions of transportation and transportation-related services
