FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 7: Acquisition Planning › Subpart 7.1

FAR 7.107-6 Solicitation provision.

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 to include a specific solicitation provision (52.207-6) when soliciting offers for multiple-award contracts that exceed the agency's substantial bundling threshold. For small businesses, this means certain multiple-award solicitations will explicitly invite offers from small business concerns and from small business teaming arrangements or joint ventures.

Applies to: Contracting officers issuing solicitations for multiple-award contracts above the agency's substantial bundling threshold

What it requires

  • Insert the provision at 52.207-6 in solicitations for multiple-award contracts above the agency's substantial bundling threshold
