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 DFARS provision tells offerors that the specifications, standards, plans, drawings, data item descriptions, and other documents cited in the solicitation are not distributed with the solicitation, but can be examined at a location the contracting officer inserts. It matters because a contractor must go to that location to review the documents rather than expecting to receive copies.
Applies to: Offerors responding to a solicitation that cites this provision
