FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 225: Foreign Acquisition › Subpart 225.71

DFARS 225.7102-2 Exceptions.

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 lists exceptions to the DFARS policy that generally requires domestic manufacture for certain acquisitions. It matters because it tells contractors when the domestic-source restriction does not apply, such as for simplified acquisitions, overseas use, or quantities above the defense mobilization base.

Applies to: Acquisitions subject to the policy in DFARS 225.7102-1

Key terms: simplified acquisition procedures · restricted item · end item · overseas for overseas use · U.S. defense mobilization base

The text

The policy in 225.7102-1 does not apply to acquisitions—

(a) Using simplified acquisition procedures, unless the restricted item is the end item being purchased;

(b) Overseas for overseas use; or

(c) When the quantity acquired exceeds the amount needed to maintain the U.S. defense mobilization base (provided the excess quantity is an economical purchase quantity). The requirement for domestic manufacture does not apply to the quantity above that required to maintain the base, in which case, qualifying country sources may compete.
