View Rule

DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to remove duplicative Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code instructions and an associated clause, as a result of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) final rule 2012-024, Commercial and Government Entity Code. The FAR rule, which was published in the Federal Register at 79 FR 31187 on May 30, 2014, requires all offerors to obtain a CAGE code, which was previously only required for the DoD. The new FAR CAGE code requirement became effective on November 1, 2014, making the DFARS language at 204.72 and the clause at 252.204-7001 no longer necessary. These requirements affect only the internal operating procedures of the Government.
