DFARS 246.601 General.
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 points to Appendix F for the procedures and instructions on using, preparing, and distributing the Material Inspection and Receiving Report (DD Form 250 series) and supplier commercial shipping/packing lists used to evidence Government contract quality assurance. It matters to contractors because it tells them where to find the rules for these quality assurance documents rather than stating the rules itself.
Applies to: Contractors involved in Government contract quality assurance documentation
