FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 39: Acquisition of Information Technology › Subpart 39.1

FAR 39.106 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 a clause substantially the same as 52.239-1, Privacy or Security Safeguards, in certain solicitations and contracts. It matters to contractors because if you are bidding on or performing information technology work that requires security, or work involving a system of records using commercial IT services or support services, your contract will likely contain this clause.

Applies to: Solicitations and contracts for information technology requiring security, or for design, development, or operation of a system of records using commercial IT services or support services
