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 provision requires an offeror to represent, when submitting an offer, that any former DoD officials it employs or compensates and who will work on the resulting contract are currently complying with all applicable post-employment restrictions.

What it requires

  • By submitting an offer, represent that all covered DoD officials employed by or otherwise receiving compensation from the Offeror, and expected to undertake activities on behalf of the Offeror for any resulting contract, are presently in compliance with all applicable post-employment restrictions.
