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

DFARS 252.223-7003 Change in place of performance—ammunition and explosives.

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 requires an offeror to identify, in the solicitation's Place of Performance provision, where all ammunition and explosives work covered by the Safety Precautions for Ammunition and Explosives clause will be performed. It also prohibits changing that place of performance after offers are due, or after contract award, without the Contracting Officer's written approval. This matters because failing to provide the information can get an offer rejected, and unapproved changes are not allowed.

Applies to: Offerors and contractors on solicitations or contracts involving ammunition and explosives work covered by the Safety Precautions for Ammunition and Explosives clause

What it requires

  • Identify in the solicitation's Place of Performance provision the place of performance of all ammunition and explosives work covered by the Safety Precautions for Ammunition and Explosives clause
  • Do not change the place of performance of any covered portion of the offer after the date set for receipt of offers without the Contracting Officer's written approval
  • If a contract results, do not change any previously cited place of performance without the Contracting Officer's advance written approval
