DFARS 252.225-7003 Report of Intended Performance Outside the United States and Canada—Submission with Offer.
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 requires an offeror to submit a report with its offer if the offer exceeds $20 million and the offeror knows that it or a first-tier subcontractor intends to perform work outside the United States and Canada that exceeds $900,000 and could be done inside the United States or Canada. The report must be submitted using DD Form 2139 or a computer-generated equivalent. It matters because it imposes a submission obligation on large offers involving intended foreign performance.
Applies to: Offerors submitting offers exceeding $20 million
What it requires
- Submit a report of intended performance outside the United States and Canada with the offer if the offer exceeds $20 million and the offeror is aware of intended foreign performance meeting the stated conditions.
- Use DD Form 2139 or a computer-generated report containing all required information.
