Records held by a contractor on an agency's behalf can be subject to the Freedom of Information Act. These clauses set out what the contractor must do when the agency receives a request that reaches contract material.
Supplement clauses that impose it
Each clause below cites this authority in its own text and directs the contractor or offeror to do something about it.
DFARS — Defense (DoD)
DIAR — Interior
DOLAR — Labor
EDAR — Education
EPAAR — Environmental Protection Agency
HHSAR — Health and Human Services
NFS — NASA
NRCAR — Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Clauses that name it without imposing it
These cite the same authority for a different reason — a form that carries a burden statement, or a collection the agency has already had approved — so they are listed apart from the clauses that place a duty on the contractor.
DEAR — Energy
DFARS — Defense (DoD)
DOSAR — State
EDAR — Education
EPAAR — Environmental Protection Agency
GSAM — General Services Administration
HHSAR — Health and Human Services
JAR — Justice
NFS — NASA
TAR — Transportation
VAAR — Veterans Affairs
How this list was built
Every agency FAR supplement published by GSA is parsed in full, and each clause is matched against the statutory authorities cited in its own body text — never its title. A clause counts as imposing the obligation only when a directive addressed to the contractor sits alongside the citation; otherwise it is listed as naming it. That split matters: some clauses mention a statute only because a referenced form carries a burden statement. The controlling version of any clause is the one in the Code of Federal Regulations, linked from that clause's page.
