FAR 47.405 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 two specific clauses in solicitations and contracts. The first clause favors U.S.-flag air carriers when U.S. Government-financed international air transportation may occur, and the second requires U.S.-flag air carriers to report on human trafficking prevention training. It matters to contractors because these clauses can become part of their contract terms depending on the type of contract and transportation involved.
Applies to: Contracting officers and contractors involved in U.S. Government-financed international air transportation or air passenger transportation by U.S.-flag air carriers
Key terms: U.S.-Flag Air Carriers · simplified acquisition procedures · commercial products · solicitations · contracts
