FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 4: Administrative and Information Matters › Subpart 4.13
FAR 4.1303 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 contracting officers when to include the clause at 52.204-9, Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel, in solicitations and contracts. It matters to contractors because if they need routine physical access to a Federally-controlled facility or routine access to a Federally-controlled information system, the clause will be in their contract, but it is not used for only intermittent facility access.
Applies to: Contracting officers and contractors with routine access to Federally-controlled facilities or information systems
