FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 244: Subcontracting Policies and Procedures › Subpart 244.3

DFARS 244.303 Extent of review.

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 DoD contracting officers to review two extra things when they review subcontracting plans. They must check that the rationale for treating an item as a commercial product or commercial service is adequate, and that the contractor's counterfeit electronic part detection and avoidance system is adequate. It matters because a contractor's commercial-item rationale and its counterfeit part system can both come under review.

Applies to: DoD contracting officers reviewing subcontracting plans

What it requires

  • Review the adequacy of rationale documenting commercial product or commercial service determinations to ensure compliance with the FAR 2.101 definition
  • Review the adequacy of the contractor's counterfeit electronic part detection and avoidance system under clause 252.246-7007
