FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 4: Administrative and Information Matters › Subpart 4.17

FAR 4.1705 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 service contract reporting clauses in solicitations and contracts. It matters to contractors because if the clause is included, the contract will require service contract reporting, and the section lists situations where the clause is not required.

Applies to: Contracting officers awarding solicitations and contracts for services, including construction, and indefinite-delivery contracts

Key terms: Service Contract Reporting Requirements · indefinite-delivery contracts · generic entity identifier · classified solicitations · thresholds at 4.1703
