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

DFARS 252.225-7023 Preference for Products or Services from Afghanistan.

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 asks an offeror to represent whether the products or services it will deliver under a resulting contract come from Afghanistan, and to list any that do not. For evaluation purposes, the Contracting Officer will increase by 50 percent the prices of offers that are not products or services from Afghanistan. This matters because it can affect how a contractor's price is evaluated in a competition.

Applies to: Offerors responding to solicitations that include this provision

What it requires

  • Represent that all products or services to be delivered are products from Afghanistan or services from Afghanistan, except those listed in paragraph (c) or in paragraph (c)(2) of the Trade Agreements Certificate if included
  • List any offered products or services that are not products from Afghanistan or services from Afghanistan
