FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 219: Small Business Programs › Subpart 219.2

DFARS 219.270-3 Solicitation provision.

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 include a specific solicitation provision, 252.219-7012, when buying religious-related services to be performed on U.S. military installations. The provision must be used when the acquisition is set aside for certain small business concerns, including when commercial services procedures under FAR part 12 are used. It matters to contractors because it signals that the opportunity is reserved for small businesses and that the competition provision applies.

Applies to: Solicitations for religious-related services on U.S. military installations that are set aside for small business concerns identified in FAR 19.000(a)(3)

What it requires

  • Include provision 252.219-7012 in the solicitation
  • Use the provision even when using FAR part 12 procedures for commercial services
