FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 242: Contract Administration and Audit Services › Subpart 242.11

DFARS 242.1106 Reporting requirements.

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 sets out reporting requirements related to defense technology projects and acquisition programs, pointing to DoDI 5000.2 for the underlying requirements. It also tells the contracting administration office (CAO) how to handle a contractor's report after receiving it. Contractors should know that their reports trigger specific internal review and distribution steps by the CAO.

Applies to: Contracting administration offices (CAOs) handling contractor reports on defense technology projects and acquisition programs

What it requires

  • Within four working days after receiving the contractor's report, the CAO must provide the report and any required comments to the contracting officer and, unless the contract says otherwise, the inventory control manager.
  • If the report does not show the contract is on schedule, or the CAO does not agree it is on schedule, the CAO must add comments and recommend a course of action.
