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

DFARS 252.270-7000 Pilot Program to Incentivize Contracting with Employee-Owned Businesses—Representation.

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 provision requires an offeror to represent whether it is a qualified business under the DFARS pilot program to incentivize contracting with employee-owned businesses. It matters because the representation affects eligibility for that pilot program, and the term 'qualified business' is defined in the related DFARS clause 252.270-7002 included in the solicitation.

Applies to: Offerors responding to solicitations that include this provision
