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

DFARS 252.227-7032 Rights in technical data and computer software (foreign).

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 gives the U.S. Government broad rights to duplicate, use, and disclose technical data and computer software that the contractor delivers under the contract. It matters because it allows the Government to share that data with other governments for mutual defense purposes, without limiting how it is used.

Applies to: Contracts with foreign contractors that require delivery of technical data or computer software to the U.S. Government
