View Rule

DoD is issuing a final rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to clarify requirements related to indirect offset costs associated with Foreign Military Sales offset agreements.  The rule revises DFARS 225.7303-2 entitled "Cost of Doing Business with a Foreign Government or an International Organization" by adding a new paragraph to provide guidelines to contracting officers when an indirect offset is a condition of a Foreign Military Sales acquisition. A reference to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency manual is also updated.  DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule will be included in future status updates as part of DoD's retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563, completed in August  2011.
