FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 225: Foreign Acquisition › Subpart 225.73
DFARS 225.7307 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 two specific DFARS clauses in solicitations and contracts. The first clause restricts contingent fees for Foreign Military Sales, and the second addresses exclusionary policies and practices of foreign governments. It matters to contractors because these clauses can appear in their FMS-related contracts, including commercial-item acquisitions.
Applies to: Solicitations and contracts for Foreign Military Sales and international military education training
Key terms: Foreign Military Sales · contingent fees · commercial products and commercial services · international military education training · solicitations and contracts
