In plain English

This subpart explains that DFARS 217.700 implements three specific National Defense Authorization Act provisions and sets policy for buying supplies and services through contracts or orders issued by non-DoD agencies. It matters to contractors because it signals that DoD acquisitions can involve other agencies' contracts or orders, which may affect how a contractor's work is placed and administered.
