DFARS 247.207 Solicitation provisions, contract clauses, and special 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

Applies to: Solicitations and contracts for carriage and shipping services, including commercial product and commercial service acquisitions

Key terms: Pass-Through of Motor Carrier Fuel Surcharge Adjustment to the Cost Bearer · Application for U.S. Government Shipping Documentation/Instructions · motor carrier · broker · freight forwarder
