DFARS 225.7705-1 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 DFARS section prohibits the contracting officer from obligating or expending funds for a Department of Defense construction or other infrastructure program or project in Afghanistan when U.S. Government military or civilian personnel, or their representatives with oversight authority, cannot safely access that program or project. It matters to contractors because it can stop funding for such work, though a waiver is possible under limited circumstances as described in section 225.7705-2.

Applies to: Department of Defense construction or other infrastructure programs or projects in Afghanistan
