FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 52: Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses › Subpart 52.2

FAR 52.208-6 Marking of Leased Vehicles.

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 clause lets the Government put temporary, removable markings or decals identifying the using agency on leased motor vehicles. It also limits the Contractor's temporary placards so they cannot look like Government advertising or endorsement of the Contractor.

Applies to: Contractors leasing motor vehicles to the Government (not in foreign countries)

What it requires

  • Allow the Government to place nonpermanent markings or decals on each side and on the front and rear bumpers of leased vehicles
  • Ensure any Contractor placards used for temporary vehicle identification do not reference the Contractor in a way that could be construed as advertising or endorsement by the Government
