JSchaus & Associates – Washington DC – hello@JenniferSchaus.com
DFARS Part #243
DFARs Part 243 vs. FAR Part 43
Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement – DFARS
- This Provides DoD Implementation and Supplementation of the FAR
- Not a Stand Alone Set of Requirements
- If Not in the DFARS, then look to the FAR
FAR Part 43 covers contract modifications – most modifications will follow the FAR

19. DFARS – 2021 - Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement
JSchaus & Associates – Washington DC – hello@JenniferSchaus.com
DFARS Part #243
DFARS Part 243 is limited in Scope and Application
• Procedural Items
• Unpriced Change Order Over $5 million
• Contract Clauses

20. DFARS – 2021 - Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement
JSchaus & Associates – Washington DC – hello@JenniferSchaus.com
DFARS Part #243
PROCEDURAL ITEMS
• 243.107-70 – Notification of Substantial Impact on Employment
• Clause 249.7003 – If a “termination or substantial reduction in defense program” primes must notify
its subcontractors of “anticipated termination” if
• All first tier subcontractors with a value over $700,000
• All lower tier subcontractors with a value over $150,000

• 243.172 – Application of Modifications
These all point to Procedures, Guidance, and Information (PGI) Sections
