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 tells contracting officers to consider, when planning certain base-closure service contracts, whether offerors commit to a plan to hire residents near the closing or realigning installation. It matters to contractors because such a hiring plan may be used as a source selection factor.
