FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 9: Contractor Qualifications › Subpart 9.1

FAR 9.109-5 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 when they must include the certification provision at 52.209-13 in a solicitation. It applies to solicitations above the simplified acquisition threshold for products or services, including construction, but not for commercial products or commercial services, unless an exception applies. For contractors, it means you may need to provide this certification when bidding on certain covered acquisitions.

Applies to: Solicitations for products or services (including construction) above the simplified acquisition threshold, excluding commercial products or commercial services
