FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 3: Improper Business Practices and Personal Conflicts of Interest › Subpart 3.10

FAR 3.1004 Contract clauses.

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 section tells contracting officers when to include two specific clauses about business ethics and fraud hotline posters in contracts. It matters because if your contract meets the stated conditions, you will be required to follow the Contractor Code of Business Ethics and Conduct and display hotline posters.

Applies to: Solicitations and contracts meeting specified dollar and performance period conditions

What it requires

  • Comply with the Contractor Code of Business Ethics and Conduct if the clause is included.
  • Display hotline poster(s) if the clause is included.
