Notes

No expiration date: The deviation remains in effect until rescinded or incorporated into the FAR, DFARS and DFARS PGI. No fixed expiration date applies.

Certified cost or pricing data threshold change: DFARS 215.403-3(a) sets the certified cost or pricing data threshold at $10 million for prime contracts awarded after 2026-06-30. The threshold is $2.5 million for contracts awarded on or before 2026-06-30.

CCC waiver: DoD has waived certified cost or pricing data requirements for the CCC and its subcontractors. Use 252.215-7990 and 252.215-7991 as prescribed for CCC sole source acquisitions.

RFO web page: The revised FAR Part 15 is published at the RFO web page. Contracting officers must use that version, not the text codified at 48 CFR chapter 1.
