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

DFARS 252.225-7057 Preaward Disclosure of Employment of Individuals Who Work in the People's Republic of China.

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 that is a covered entity to disclose, before award, whether it will use individuals who perform work in the People's Republic of China on a covered contract. DoD may not award a covered contract to a covered entity that proposes such employment unless the offeror has made the required disclosure. It matters because a missing or incomplete preaward disclosure can block award.

Applies to: Offerors that are covered entities competing for a covered contract

What it requires

  • At the time of submitting an offer for a covered contract, provide the required disclosures if the offeror is a covered entity
  • Disclose the proposed use of workforce on the covered contract or subcontract if the offeror employs one or more individuals who perform work in the People's Republic of China
  • Disclose the total number of such individuals who will perform work in the People's Republic of China
  • Describe the physical presence, including street address or addresses, in the People's Republic of China where work on the covered contract will be performed
