FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 252: Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses › Subpart 252.2

DFARS 252.217-7006 Title.

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 clause governs who owns materials and equipment used on a vessel under a job order. Title to materials and equipment that will be built into the vessel passes to the Government when they are delivered to the work location. It also explains what happens to leftover Contractor-furnished items and clarifies that the vessel itself and its contents are not Government-furnished property.

Applies to: Contractors performing a job order on a vessel under a DFARS contract

What it requires

  • Deliver materials and equipment to the specified work location so title vests in the Government
  • Return or transfer Contractor-furnished materials and equipment not incorporated into the vessel to the Contractor upon completion or with Contracting Officer approval, unless the Government reimbursed their cost

Key terms: title · job order · Government-furnished property · Contractor-furnished materials and equipment · Contracting Officer
