Who Does Dfars Apply To

The DFARS is a DoD (Department of Defense)-specific supplement to the FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation). It provides acquisition regulations that are specific to the DoD. DoD government acquisition officials and contractors and subcontractors doing business with the DoD must adhere to the regulations in the DFARS.

Who needs to be Dfars compliant?

The regulation now requires all aerospace and defense companies to be compliant. In order to be considered DFARS compliant, organizations need to pass a readiness assessment according to the NIST SP 800-171 guidelines.

Does Dfars apply to all government contracts?

Anyone who does contract work for the DoD and other federal agencies is required to be DFARS-compliant. Whether you belong to one of the larger defense contractors or a smaller organization, becoming DFARS-compliant is a must.
