FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 225: Foreign Acquisition › Subpart 225.7

DFARS 225.770-2 Prohibition.

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 prohibits acquiring items covered by the USML or the 600 series of the CCL from any Communist Chinese military company, whether through a prime contract or a subcontract at any tier. It matters because contractors must ensure their supply chains, including subcontractors, do not source these covered items from such companies. The prohibition does not apply to components and parts of covered items unless those components and parts are themselves covered by the USML or the 600 series of the CCL.

Applies to: Contracts and subcontracts at any tier for items covered by the USML or the 600 series of the CCL

What it requires

  • Do not acquire items covered by the USML or the 600 series of the CCL from any Communist Chinese military company through a contract or subcontract at any tier.
