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

DFARS 252.225-7004 Report of Intended Performance Outside the United States and Canada—Submission after Award.

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 contractors to report when they or a first-tier subcontractor will perform part of the contract outside the United States and Canada, if the work exceeds a certain threshold and could be done inside the United States or Canada. The report must be submitted after award, as soon as practical, and a copy sent to a specific Defense Department office. It matters because it ensures the government is aware of offshore performance that could potentially be done domestically.

Applies to: Contractors and first-tier subcontractors performing work outside the United States and Canada

What it requires

  • Submit a report if the contractor or a first-tier subcontractor will perform part of the contract outside the United States and Canada, exceeding the threshold in DFARS 225.7201(a) and could be performed inside the United States or Canada.
  • Submit the report as soon as practical after the information is known.
  • To the maximum extent practicable, submit a report regarding a first-tier subcontractor at least 30 days before award of the subcontract.
  • Submit all reports to the Contracting Officer and a copy to the Principal Director, Defense Pricing, Contracting, and Acquisition Policy (Contract Policy), OUSD(A&S) DPCAP/CP, Washington, DC 20301-3060.
