Basics – Who / What / Why / When / Where
The DFARS – 2025 - The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement
JSchaus & Associates – Washington DC – hello@Jenniferschaus.com
Basics – Who / What / Why / When / Where
 Who: DoD contracting officers and Defense contractors
 What: additional regulatory guidance – “supplement”
 DFARS is the Defense FAR Supplement
 Why: DoD has a special mission and therefore different needs
 When: any Defense contract will likely contain DFARS clauses
 Where in the contract:
 Find all DFARS clauses with the prefix, “DFARS 252…”
 Where to research:
 DFARS is found at Chapter 2, Title 48 of C.F.R.
The DFARS – 2025 - The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement
JSchaus & Associates – Washington DC – hello@Jenniferschaus.com
Basics – Who / What / Why / When / Where
 Contracting procedures specific to defense industry
 ie. additions, exceptions, and deviations from the FAR
 Instructions to CO’s and also relevant to contractors
 Armed Services Procurement Act of 1947
 1984 – The FAR created
 S is for Supplement (Defense FAR Supplement = DFARS)
 Title 48, Chapter 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.)

DFARS Structure
The DFARS – 2025 - The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement
JSchaus & Associates – Washington DC – hello@Jenniferschaus.com
DFARS Structure
 Divided into Parts and Subparts, just like the FAR
 Where do I find DFARS clauses? DFARS Part 252.
 Important Parts of the DFARS include:
 202, Definitions
 215, Contracting by Negotiation
 227, Patents, Data, and Copyright
 252, Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses
