FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 232: Contract Financing › Subpart 232.10

DFARS 232.1005-70 Solicitation provisions and contract clauses.

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 which DFARS clauses and provisions to include in solicitations and contracts that involve performance-based payments. It matters to contractors because it determines which payment-related terms will appear in the solicitation and contract, depending on whether payments are made on a whole-contract or deliverable-item basis.

Applies to: Contracting officers preparing solicitations and contracts that include performance-based payments

What it requires

  • Include the clause at 252.232-7012 with appropriate fill-ins for performance-based payments made on a whole-contract basis
  • Include the clause at 252.232-7013 with appropriate fill-ins for performance-based payments made on a deliverable-item basis
  • Use the provision at 252.232-7015 in solicitations where the resulting contract may include performance-based payments
  • Use the provision at 252.232-7016 in lieu of FAR 52.232-13 when the solicitation contains clauses for progress payments and performance-based payments
