FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 243: Contract Modifications › Subpart 243.2

DFARS 243.205-71 Requests for equitable adjustment.

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 clause at 252.243-7002, Requests for Equitable Adjustment, in solicitations and contracts estimated to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. It applies even when commercial products or commercial services are being acquired using FAR part 12 procedures. For contractors, this means the equitable adjustment clause will appear in larger covered contracts, including commercial-item acquisitions.

Applies to: Solicitations and contracts estimated to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, including those using FAR part 12 commercial procedures
