View Rule

DoD is issuing a final rule to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to update the clause at 252.225-7040, Contractor Personnel Supporting U.S. Armed Forces Deployed Outside the United States.  The objective of the rule is to--

• Clarify that both contractors authorized to accompany the Force (CAAF) and non-CAAF personnel must be made aware of information related to sexual assault offenses;
• Clarify that the section on reporting alleged crimes does not create any rights or privileges that are not authorized by law or DoD policy;
• Update the reference for special area, country, and theater clearance requirements for deploying personnel;
• Update the form used to show vaccinations are current; and
• Update the hyperlink to the Synchronized Predeployment and Operational Tracker (SPOT) web-based system. 

This rule is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because the rule merely provides updates to references and links currently included DFARS clause 252.225-7040.
