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 prohibits using DoD funds to knowingly procure products made wholly or in part with forced labor from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) or from entities that used or transferred labor from XUAR. It also requires the contractor to make a good faith effort to ensure such forced labor is not used in performing the contract, and to flow the clause down to subcontracts.

Applies to: DoD contractors and subcontractors performing covered contracts

What it requires

  • Make a good faith effort to determine that forced labor from XUAR will not be used in contract performance
  • Insert this clause, including paragraph (c), without alteration other than to identify the appropriate parties, in subcontracts including those for commercial products, commercial services, and commercially available off-the-shelf items
