Information Collection Requirement; Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Part 225, Foreign Acquisition and Related Clauses
DoD proposes to extend an information collection requirement under DFARS Part 225, Foreign Acquisition. This affects contractors involved in foreign acquisition and requires continued compliance with reporting and recordkeeping obligations.
Aforeworn detected this change in the Government Contracting (SAM/FAR) space on July 5, 2026 and published this briefing so affected operators are forewarned rather than caught off guard. It is rated Low urgency. Defense contractors, especially those involved in foreign acquisition and small businesses with set-asides should confirm how it applies to their specific situation before acting. There is a time constraint attached: Comments due by July 28, 2026; final extension expected after that..
