2026-09067, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement: Mitigating Risks Related to Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (DFARS Case 2021-D011)
The Department of Defense is updating rules to make sure companies working with them reveal if they’re owned or controlled by foreign folks. This helps keep our defense projects safe from hidden foreign influence. If you’re a contractor or subcontractor, get ready to share ownership info by July 6, 2026, or risk delays in your contracts.
2026-09038, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement: Disclosure of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (DFARS Case 2024-D021)
Starting May 7, 2026, the Department of Defense won’t make most new defense contractors share their greenhouse gas emissions unless it’s really needed for the contract. This change helps nontraditional contractors avoid extra paperwork, but DoD can still ask for info if it’s directly tied to the job. It’s a smart move to keep things fair and focused without slowing down important defense work.
