DFARS 252.225-7063 Restriction on Acquisition of Components of T-AO 205 and T-ARC Class Vessels.

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 restricts where certain components of T-AO 205 and T-ARC class vessels may be manufactured. Those components must be made in the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, or the United Kingdom, and the contractor must flow this requirement down to covered subcontracts. It matters because it limits which suppliers a contractor can use for these ship components.

Applies to: Contractors delivering T-AO 205 and T-ARC class vessel components

What it requires

  • Deliver only T-AO 205 and T-ARC class vessel components manufactured in the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, or the United Kingdom
  • Insert the substance of this clause, including paragraph (b), in subcontracts for the covered components that exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, including subcontracts for commercial products and commercial services
