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

FAR 52.227-16 Additional Data Requirements.

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 allows the Contracting Officer to order additional data that was first produced or specifically used under the contract, either during performance or within 3 years after acceptance of all items. It matters because the contractor may have to deliver such data later, but the contractor will be compensated for converting, reproducing, and delivering it, and data that is authorized to be withheld or is identified as not subject to this clause is excluded.

Applies to: Contractors under contracts that include this clause

What it requires

  • Deliver data ordered by the Contracting Officer under this clause, unless the data is authorized to be withheld or is specifically identified as not subject to this clause.

The text

As prescribed in 27.409(d), insert the following clause:

Additional Data Requirements (JUN 1987)

(a) In addition to the data (as defined in the clause at 52.227-14, Rights in Data—General clause or other equivalent included in this contract) specified elsewhere in this contract to be delivered, the Contracting Officer may, at any time during contract performance or within a period of 3 years after acceptance of all items to be delivered under this contract, order any data first produced or specifically used in the performance of this contract.

(b) The Rights in Data—General clause or other equivalent included in this contract is applicable to all data ordered under this Additional Data Requirements clause.

(c) When data are to be delivered under this clause, the Contractor will be compensated for converting the data into the prescribed form, for reproduction, and for delivery.

(d) The Contracting Officer may release the Contractor from the requirements of this clause for specifically identified data items at any time during the 3-year period set forth in paragraph (a) of this clause.
