FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 225: Foreign Acquisition › Subpart 225.79

DFARS 225.7902-4 Procedures.

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 sets out the steps a program manager must follow when a solicitation or contract might be eligible for DTC Treaty coverage. Before a solicitation is issued and before a contract is awarded, the program manager must put certain identifications in writing and give them to the contracting officer. It matters because it tells contractors that treaty eligibility depends on these written identifications being made at those points in the process.

Applies to: Program managers on solicitations and contracts that may be eligible for DTC Treaty coverage

What it requires

  • Identify in writing the qualifying DTC Treaty Scope paragraph and submit it to the contracting officer before solicitation issuance and before contract award
  • Identify in writing the qualifying defense article(s) using the categories in 22 CFR 126.16(g) and 22 CFR 126.17(g) and submit them to the contracting officer before solicitation issuance and before contract award
  • If applicable, identify in writing any specific Part C, DTC Treaty-exempted technology list items and terms and conditions for applicable contract line item numbers and submit them to the contracting officer
