FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 225: Foreign Acquisition › Subpart 225.70

DFARS 225.7002-3 Contract 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 DFARS clauses to include in solicitations and contracts for certain domestic commodities, hand or measuring tools, and American flags, unless a stated exception applies. It matters to contractors because these clauses impose domestic sourcing restrictions on what they may deliver under covered contracts.

Applies to: Solicitations and contracts covered by DFARS 225.7002, including those using FAR part 12 commercial procedures

Key terms: Preference for Certain Domestic Commodities · Restriction on Acquisition of Hand or Measuring Tools · Acquisition of the American Flag · commercial products and commercial services · threshold
