DFARS 228.311-1 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 to include the FAR clause on liability insurance to third persons in cost-reimbursement solicitations and contracts, except for construction and architect-engineer services. It matters to contractors because it signals that third-party liability insurance requirements will be part of those cost-reimbursement contracts unless a waiver is granted.
Applies to: Solicitations and contracts using cost-reimbursement, other than construction and architect-engineer services
Key terms: FAR 52.228-7 · Insurance—Liability to Third Persons · cost-reimbursement contract · head of the contracting activity · waives
