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

DFARS 252.243-7001 Pricing of contract modifications.

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 says that when costs affect a price adjustment for a contract modification, the cost principles and procedures from FAR part 31 and DFARS part 231 apply. Those rules are the ones in effect on the date of the original contract, not later versions. This matters because it fixes which cost rules govern modification pricing.

Applies to: Contractors whose contracts include this clause and involve price adjustments where costs are a factor
