DFARS 225.1103 Other provisions and 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 DFARS section tells contracting officers when to include certain clauses and provisions in solicitations and contracts, mostly for work performed outside the United States or involving certain controlled items. It matters to contractors because these clauses create requirements they must follow, such as identifying U.S. expenditures or corresponding in English. The section also restricts listing a provision separately when another solicitation provision is already included.

Applies to: Contracting officers handling solicitations and contracts for overseas performance or covered items

Key terms: simplified acquisition threshold · domestic concern · United States Munitions List · Commerce Control List · commercial products and commercial services
