FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 239: Acquisition of Information Technology › Subpart 239.74
DFARS 239.7405 Delegated authority for telecommunications resources.
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 gives the contracting officer authority to enter into a telecommunications service contract on a month-to-month basis or for longer periods, as long as the total does not exceed 10 years. It matters because it defines how long these contracts can run and points to PGI 239.7405 for related documents, noting that this authority was delegated to DoD by the General Services Administration.
