Text
(a) Numbering.
(1) Text that supplements the FAR uses the same numbering as its FAR
counterpart, with the number 70 and up added to the FAR part, subpart, or section number. When the text exceeds one paragraph, the paragraphs use the FAR numbering sequence, which is (a)(1)(i)(A)(1)(i). For example, DFARS text supplementing FAR 1.101 would be numbered 201.101-70. The paragraphs in 201.101-70 would be (a), (b), and (c).
(2) Text that implements the FAR uses the same numbering as its FAR counterpart.
However, when the text uses a different number of paragraphs than the FAR, the text uses supplemental numbering.
(3) Paragraph numbering below the 4th level (i.e., (A)) does not repeat the
numbering sequence. It uses italicized Arabic numerals (e.g., 1) at the 5th level and then italicized lower case Roman numerals (e.g., i) at the final level.
(b) Examples of DFARS numbering are in Table 1, DFARS Numbering.
(c) Department, agency, and component supplements must parallel the FAR and
DFARS numbering, except department and agency supplemental numbering uses section numbers of 90 and up, instead of 70 and up.
