What it makes you produce

One item for your checklist.

  1. Something you write

    Days to weeks, and nobody outside your company has to agree to it.

    • A written notice to employees, in the language most of the workforce speaks, of their whistleblower rights under 10 U.S.C. 4701

      DFARS 252.203-7002(a)

When it is used

All DoD contracts (10 U.S.C. 4701).

Read closely

A memo, an onboarding page or a board notice all satisfy the form; what (a) fixes is that it is written and in the predominant native language. The DoD detail behind the rights sits in DFARS subpart 203.9.

This is research, not legal advice. It states what the regulation says about this clause and cites the paragraph behind it. It does not rule on your order, and it does not rule on whether a prime's markings are correct.
