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

DFARS 252.237-7004 Area of performance.

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 defines the area of performance for contracts involving the transport of remains and sets out when the Contractor gets paid for transportation. It matters because the Contractor is not reimbursed for transport that stays entirely within the area of performance, but may be paid per mile when remains are moved into the area from outside or delivered beyond its boundary.

Applies to: Contractors performing services involving the transport of remains under this contract

What it requires

  • Take possession of the remains where they are located
  • Transport the remains to the Contractor's place of preparation
  • Later transport the remains to a place designated by the Contracting Officer

Area of Performance (DEC 1991)

(a) The area of performance is as specified in the contract.

(b) The Contractor shall take possession of the remains at the place where they are located, transport them to the Contractor's place of preparation, and later transport them to a place designated by the Contracting Officer.

(c) The Contractor will not be reimbursed for transportation when both the place where the remains were located and the delivery point are within the area of performance.

(d) If remains are located outside the area of performance, the Contracting Officer may place an order with the Contractor under this contract or may obtain the services elsewhere. If the Contracting Officer requires the Contractor to transport the remains into the area of performance, the Contractor shall be paid the amount per mile in the schedule for the number of miles required to transport the remains by a reasonable route from the point where located to the boundary of the area of performance.

(e) The Contracting Officer may require the Contractor to deliver remains to any point within 100 miles of the area of performance.
