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

DFARS 225.7009-5 Contract clause.

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 the clause at 252.225-7016, Restriction on Acquisition of Ball and Roller Bearings, in solicitations and contracts, including those using FAR part 12 commercial procedures. It matters to contractors because it means the restriction on where ball and roller bearings can be acquired may flow down into their contracts unless an exception or waiver applies.

Applies to: Solicitations and contracts, including FAR part 12 acquisitions of commercial products and commercial services

What it requires

  • Include the clause at 252.225-7016 in solicitations and contracts unless an exception in (a), (b), or (c) applies
