Class Deviation
DFARS Part

This text is not in eCFR or DITA. It is extracted from the .docx attachment for Class Deviation 2026-O0024, which directs contracting officers to use it in place of the codified PGI. The parsed text is a convenience layer; the .docx attachment is authoritative.

(a) When the apparently successful offeror indicates in the provision at DFARS 252.239-7009 that cloud computing services will be used in the performance of the contract, the contracting officer must review the DoD Cloud Service Catalog at http://www.disa.mil/Computing/Cloud-Services/Cloud-Support (look under the “Additional Information” tab for “Service Catalog”) to verify that the cloud service provider’s offering to be used in the performance of the contract has a provisional authorization prior to award (see DFARS 239.7602-1(b)).

(b) When the contractor indicated in the provision at DFARS 252.239-7009 that it did not anticipate the use of cloud computing services in the performance of the contract and requests, after award, in accordance with the clause at DFARS 252.239-7010(b)(1), that the contracting officer approve the use of cloud computing services in the performance of the contract, the contracting officer must—

(1) Request approval from the requiring activity for the contractor to use cloud computing services; and

(2) If the requiring activity provides approval, review the DoD Cloud Service Catalog at http://www.disa.mil/Computing/Cloud-Services/Cloud-Support (look under the “Additional Information” tab for “Service Catalog”) to verify that the cloud service provider’s offering to be used in the performance of the contract has a provisional authorization (see DFARS 239.7602-1(b)).
