FAR 30.202-8 Subcontractor disclosure statements.

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 explains how the Government handles determinations about a subcontractor's disclosure statement. It says the CFAO for the subcontractor makes the adequacy determination and passes it up to the CFAO for the contractor or next higher-tier subcontractor, who cannot change it. It also says any determination that securing a subcontractor's Disclosure Statement is impractical must follow 48 CFR 9903.202-2.

Applies to: Government contracting officers (CFAOs) and contractors or higher-tier subcontractors with subcontractors subject to disclosure statement requirements

What it requires

  • The CFAO for the subcontractor must provide the adequacy determination to the CFAO for the contractor or next higher-tier subcontractor.
  • The higher-tier CFAO must not change the lower-tier CFAO's determination.
  • Any determination that it is impractical to secure a subcontractor's Disclosure Statement must be made in accordance with 48 CFR 9903.202-2.
