FAR 37.403 Contract clause.
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 the contracting officer to include the Indemnification and Medical Liability Insurance clause (52.237-7) in solicitations and contracts for nonpersonal health care services. It also allows the contracting officer to include that clause in bilateral purchase orders for those services awarded under part 13 procedures. For contractors, this means the clause will likely appear in your nonpersonal health care services contract or solicitation.
