Federal records management

5 supplement clauses impose it across 4 agencies

Material a contractor creates for an agency can be a Federal record. Where it is, the Federal Records Act and NARA's schedules govern how it is kept, transferred and eventually disposed of, and the obligation does not end when the contract does.

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)

DOLAR — Labor

EDAR — Education

TAR — Transportation

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

GSAM — General Services Administration

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.
