DFARS 252.246-7005 Notice of Warranty Tracking of Serialized Items.

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 provision tells offerors how to report warranty tracking data for serialized items. Offerors must include warranty information with their offer for each warranted item, and the successful offeror must later provide unique item identifiers and source of repair information when the items are presented for receipt or acceptance. It matters because it defines what warranty data a contractor must submit and when.

Applies to: Offerors and successful offerors on contracts with warranted serialized items

What it requires

  • Provide the information required by the 'Warranty Tracking Information' attachment on each contract line item number, subline item number, or exhibit line item number for warranted items with the offer
  • Provide the unique item identifier for each warranted item no later than when the warranted items are presented for receipt and/or acceptance
  • Provide all information required by the 'Source of Repair Instructions' attachment for each warranted item no later than when the warranted items are presented for receipt and/or acceptance
