FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 239: Acquisition of Information Technology › Subpart 239.73

DFARS 239.7306 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 supply chain risk provisions in solicitations and contracts for information technology tied to a covered system. It matters to contractors because it means these notices and clauses can appear even in commercial product and commercial service buys under FAR part 12.

Applies to: Solicitations and contracts for information technology that is, is part of, or supports a covered system

Key terms: covered system · information technology · supply chain risk · commercial products and commercial services · FAR part 12
