FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 225: Foreign Acquisition › Subpart 225.70
DFARS 225.7021-4 Solicitation provision and 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 when to include two clauses about disclosing employment of individuals who work in the People's Republic of China. The preaward provision must be used in solicitations that also include the postaward clause, and the postaward clause is required in solicitations and contracts over $5 million unless a waiver is granted. It matters to contractors because these clauses impose disclosure obligations on them.
Applies to: Solicitations and contracts with an estimated value in excess of $5 million, unless a waiver is granted
What it requires
- Include the provision at 252.225-7057 in solicitations that include the clause at 252.225-7058
- Include the clause at 252.225-7058 in solicitations and contracts over $5 million, unless a waiver is granted
