What it means for a DIBBS supplier

DIBBSFlow's reading

DIBBSFlow's reading, from the source above, checked 2026-11-05.

For each of the three cases, FAR and DAR staff are processing the public comments received; the list gives no date for a final rule and no effective date. If your DoD quotes or contracts turn on any of these nine FAR parts, the published final rule is the text to read for what changes and when.
