View Rule

DoD is issuing a final rule to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to partially implement section 874 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 to address commercial product and commercial service applicability for DFARS-unique statutes and associated contract clauses issued on or after January 1, 2015. Section 874 amended 10 U.S.C. 2375, redesignated as 10 U.S.C. 3452. Nonstatutory Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) contract clauses issued on or after January 1, 2015, are being reviewed under FAR Case 2018-013. The rule also redefines "subcontract” and restricts flowing down these contract clauses to subcontracts under contracts for the acquisition of commercial products, including commercially available off-the-shelf items, and commercial services.
