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

DFARS 244.305-71 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 which version of the DFARS Contractor Purchasing System Administration clause to include in a solicitation or contract. The choice depends on whether the contract also contains the FAR Subcontracts clause or the counterfeit electronic part detection clause. It matters to contractors because it determines which purchasing system requirements will apply to them.

Applies to: Solicitations and contracts containing certain FAR or DFARS clauses

Key terms: Contractor Purchasing System Administration—Basic · Contractor Purchasing System Administration—Alternate I · FAR 52.244-2, Subcontracts · 252.246-7007, Contractor Counterfeit Electronic Part Detection and Avoidance Sys
