FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 225: Foreign Acquisition › Subpart 225.3

DFARS 225.370 Contracts requiring performance or delivery in a foreign country.

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 follow specific procedures when a contract requires services or supplies to be performed or delivered outside the United States. It points to separate guidance for Germany, Japan, Korea, and the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility. It matters to contractors because foreign performance may trigger additional local rules and bilateral agreements.

Applies to: Acquisitions requiring performance or delivery outside the United States
