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

DFARS 252.225-7006 Acquisition of the American flag.

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 that American flags delivered under the contract be manufactured in the United States, including their materials and components, consistent with the Berry Amendment. It matters because a contractor supplying flags must ensure U.S. manufacturing rather than relying on foreign-made flags or materials. The clause does not cover items used to fly or display the flag, such as flagpoles and accessories.

Applies to: Contractors required to deliver American flags (Product or Service Code 8345) under this contract
