FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 251: Use of Government Sources by Contractors › Subpart 251.2
DFARS 251.202 Authorization.
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 other FAR and DFARS provisions that govern contractor insurance, self-insurance, and the allowability of insurance costs. It also states that a specific clause paragraph satisfies a written-statement requirement under FAR 51.202(a)(5). It matters because it tells you where the actual insurance and cost rules are located rather than stating them directly.
Applies to: Contractors and contracting officers dealing with insurance, self-insurance, and related costs under DFARS
