DFARS 252.236-7008 Contract prices—bidding schedules.

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.

It matters because the contractor must include every cost required by the drawings and specifications in those bid prices, even if a cost is not separately listed in the Bidding Schedule.
