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

DFARS 225.7004-7 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 when to include four specific DFARS clauses that restrict acquisition of certain items: anchor and mooring chain, large medium-speed diesel engines, components of T-AO 205 and T-ARC class vessels, and star trackers. It matters to contractors because if their solicitation or contract exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold and involves these items, these restriction clauses will generally be included unless a waiver or stated exception applies.

Applies to: Solicitations and contracts exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold that require the listed items
