FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 225: Foreign Acquisition › Subpart 225.79
DFARS 225.7902-5 Solicitation provision and contract clause.
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 provisions and clauses about exports by Approved Community Members. It matters to contractors because if you are bidding on or performing a contract that involves export-controlled items and a U.S. DoD Treaty-eligible requirement, you may see these clauses in the solicitation or contract. The clause at 252.225-7047 is used together with the clause at 252.225-7048, and the contracting officer fills in part of it using information from the program manager.
Applies to: Contracting officers preparing solicitations and contracts involving export-controlled items and U.S. DoD Treaty-eligible requirements
What it requires
- Use the provision at 252.225-7046 in solicitations that contain the clause at 252.225-7047.
