FAR 8.1103 Contract 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

FAR 8.1103 requires contracting officers to include specific items in every contract for leasing motor vehicles. These items cover the scope of the contract, payment methods, vehicle details, maintenance and supply responsibilities, legal compliance, and emergency repairs. This matters to contractors because it ensures they know exactly what is expected of them and what the Government will provide.
