PROPOSED RULES:
Small Purchase Exception for the Acquisition of U.S. Flags (DFARS Case 2024-D013)
DoD is proposing to amend the DFARS to implement section 832 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024, section 843 of the NDAA for FY 2025, and section 831 of the NDAA for FY 2026. Section 832 amends 10 U.S.C. 4862 (known as the Berry Amendment) to require DoD to procure U.S. flags that are produced in the United States, except purchases at or below $10,000. Section 843 clarifies that the exception at 10 U.S.C. 4862 applies to procurements by, or for, vessels in foreign waters. Section 831 narrows the commissary-resale exception at 10 U.S.C. 4862, so that the exception does not apply to seafood originating in certain countries. This proposed rule implements these requirements.

Certification Requirement for Military Recruitment Advertising (DFARS Case 2024-D022)
DoD is proposing to amend the DFARS to implement section 1555 of the NDAA for FY 2024, section 1542 of the NDAA for FY 2025, and section 1541 of the NDAA for FY 2026. Section 1555 adds a certification requirement for offerors and a requirement for DoD to notify congressional defense committees of certain DoD contracts related to the placement of military recruitment advertising. Section 1555 also specified a sunset date of one year after the date of enactment of the NDAA for FY 2024. Section 1542 extended that date to two years after the date of enactment of the NDAA for FY 2024. Section 1541 removed the congressional notification requirement and extended the sunset date to December 31, 2030. This proposed rule implements the certification requirement and the extended sunset date.

On May 7, 2026, DoD published the following changes to the DFARS:
FINAL RULE:
Disclosure of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (DFARS Case 2024-D021)
DoD is issuing a final rule amending the DFARS to implement section 318 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024. Section 318 prohibits DoD contracting officers from requiring, as a condition of contract award, nontraditional defense contractors to disclose a greenhouse gas inventory or any other report for greenhouse gas emissions, unless DoD determines that such disclosure is necessary to verify a voluntary disclosure relating to greenhouse gas emissions. A waiver is permitted on a contract-by-contract basis, provided that the information relating to greenhouse gas emissions is directly related to the performance of the contract. This final rule implements these requirements in DFARS subpart 223.5.

PROPOSED RULE:
Mitigating Risks Related to Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (DFARS Case 2021-D011)
DoD is proposing to amend the DFARS to implement part of section 847 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 and part of section 819 of the NDAA for FY 2021 to mitigate risks related to beneficial ownership or foreign ownership, control, or influence (FOCI). Section 847 of the NDAA for FY 2020 requires contractors and subcontractors to disclose their beneficial ownership and whether they are under FOCI, as well as related changes during contract or subcontract performance and the effective mitigation of FOCI-related risks for the duration of the contract or subcontract. Section 847 also allows these requirements to apply to contracts for commercial products and commercial services under certain circumstances. This proposed rule implements the disclosure and risk mitigation requirements of section 847 via a solicitation provision and a contract clause.
