DFARS 213.302-5 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 which clauses to include in certain purchase orders. It requires the Pricing of Contract Modifications clause in all bilateral purchase orders, and it replaces the Buy American—Supplies reference in the FAR 52.213-4 clause with specific DFARS Buy American clauses when the Buy American statute applies.

Applies to: Contracting officers issuing bilateral purchase orders and using FAR 52.213-4

What it requires

  • Use the clause at 252.243-7001, Pricing of Contract Modifications, in all bilateral purchase orders.
  • When using the clause at FAR 52.213-4, delete the reference to FAR 52.225-1, Buy American—Supplies.
  • If the Buy American statute applies, use the clause at 252.225-7001 or 252.225-7036, or the appropriate alternate, as prescribed.
