View Rule

DoD issued a final rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to consolidate in the DFARS all requirements for contractors performing private security functions outside the United States applicable to DoD contracts and make changes regarding applicability and high-level quality assurance standards.  Currently, requirements for Defense contractors performing private security function outside of the United States are covered in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) at 25.302 and the clause at FAR 52.225-26, Contractors Performing Private Security Functions Outside the United States, and supplemented at DFARS 225.302 and 252.225-7039. DoD is proposing to consolidate all requirements for Defense contractors performing private security functions in certain designated operational areas in the DFARS at 225.302 and the clause 252.225-7039, Defense Contractors Performing Private Security Functions Outside the United States. DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
