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 clause requires the contractor to add a certification statement to Material Inspection and Receiving Reports (DD Form 250 series) for Contracting Officer approval. The statement certifies that the items listed on the invoice have been received by the United States. This matters because it ensures the government has documented proof of receipt before approval.

Applies to: Contractors using DD Form 250 series for Material Inspection and Receiving Reports under contracts that include this clause.
