DFARS 225.872-7 Industrial security for qualifying countries.

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 points to the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual and related military instructions as the source of procedures for safeguarding classified defense information when contracts go to qualifying country sources. It matters because a contractor performing such a contract must follow those referenced security procedures rather than any rules stated in this section itself.
