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

DFARS 252.247-7025 Reflagging or Repair Work.

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 requires the Contractor to ensure that certain reflagging or repair work on a vessel is performed in the United States or its outlying areas, unless DoD waives the requirement. It also requires corrective and preventive maintenance or repair work to be performed in the United States or its outlying areas to the greatest extent practicable for the duration of the contract. It matters because it restricts where this work can be done.

Applies to: Contractors performing reflagging, repair, or maintenance work on vessels under this contract

What it requires

  • Ensure reflagging or repair work is performed in the United States or its outlying areas if the work is on a vessel for which the Contractor submitted an offer in response to the solicitation and is done prior to Government acceptance of the vessel
  • Ensure corrective and preventive maintenance or repair work is performed in the United States or its outlying areas to the greatest extent practicable for the duration of the contract
