Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement Technical Amendments
Summary
The Defense Acquisition Regulations System has published technical amendments to the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). These amendments update various sections of the DFARS to ensure consistency and accuracy in procurement regulations.
What changed
The Defense Acquisition Regulations System has issued technical amendments to the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). These changes, published on March 18, 2022, and effective March 17, 2022, involve minor updates across multiple CFR parts (including 48 CFR 204, 208, 209, 211, 212, 213, 216, 225, 227, 232, 236, 241, 246, and 252). The amendments are intended to correct minor errors, improve clarity, and ensure the DFARS remains current with procurement policies.
These amendments are primarily administrative and do not introduce significant new obligations or policy shifts for contractors or government agencies. Regulated entities should review the specific CFR parts affected to note any minor changes relevant to their operations. No immediate compliance actions are required beyond ensuring awareness of the updated regulations. The document does not specify any penalties for non-compliance with these technical amendments, as they are corrective in nature.
What to do next
- Review DFARS technical amendments for affected CFR parts
- Ensure internal procurement policies align with updated DFARS

- [Docket DARS-2022-0001]
AGENCY:
Defense Acquisition Regulations System, Department of Defense (DoD).
ACTION:
Final rule.
SUMMARY:
DoD is making technical amendments to the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to provide needed editorial changes.
DATES:
Effective March 17, 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ms. Jennifer D. Johnson, telephone 571-372-6100.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This final rule makes the following changes:
Updates office designations and a hyperlink at DFARS 204.604 and 232.1004.
Updates hyperlinks at: DFARS 204.7302, 208.602-70, 213.301, 225.7003-2, 252.204-7019, 252.204-7020, 252.211-7003, and 252.211-7007.
Removes obsolete text at DFARS 209.104-1, paragraph (g)(i). The final rule for DFARS Case 2014-D014, published at 79 FR 73488, revised section 209.104-1, paragraph (g)(i), because the coverage was relocated to DFARS subpart 225.7. Several subordinate paragraphs to paragraph (g)(i) that should have been removed at ( printed page 15817) that time were inadvertently retained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). This technical amendment corrects that error and removes the obsolete text at DFARS 209.104-1, paragraphs (g)(i)(1) and (2), from the eCFR.
Reinstates DFARS subpart 211.70 and section 211.7001, which points to procedures provided in DFARS Procedures, Guidance, and Information (PGI) 211.7001.
DFARS 212.207(b)(i), adds a missing parenthesis.
DFARS 216.402-2(2)(ii), corrects a typographical error in the electronic Code of Federal Regulations.
DFARS 225.7700(e), corrects a typographical error in a statutory section reference.
DFARS 241.102(b)(7)(C), updates a statutory reference pursuant to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 (section 2851, Pub. L. 109-364).
DFARS 246.870-2, removes obsolete language. The final rule was published at 81 FR 72738 to amend DFARS 246.870-2(a)(2) introductory text by removing “(b)(3)(ii) through (b)(3)(iv)” and adding “(b)(3)(ii)” in its place, but DFARS 204.870-2 was referenced instead of DFARS 246.870-2. According to a CFR Editorial Note, the change is not reflected in the Code of Federal Regulations due to inaccurate amendatory instruction. This rule provides the correct amendatory instruction.
DFARS 252.225-7013, updates an updated mailing address at paragraph (e)(2)(iv)(A).
Updates statutory redesignations made by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Pub. L. 115-232):
- Section 808(b)(12) redesignates 10 U.S.C. 7317 as 10 U.S.C. 8687 at DFARS 212.301, 227.7100, 227.7102-1, 227.7103-1, 252.227-7013, and 252.227-7015; and
- Section 808(d) redesignates 10 U.S.C. 4540 as 10 U.S.C. 7540 and section 807(d)(1) redesignates 10 U.S.C. 7212 as 10 U.S.C. 8612 at DFARS 236.606-70.
