DFARS 252.225-7003 Report of Intended Performance Outside the United States and Canada—Submission with Offer
Does the regulation require it to flow down?
No
No subcontract paragraph, and it is a provision addressed to 'the Offeror'. Primes push it down because 252.225-7004(c)(2) makes the prime report on a first-tier subcontractor at least 30 days before awarding that subcontract — the prime can only meet that deadline if you disclosed your offshore content while you were still quoting. The regulatory instrument is the prime's; the practical burden is yours, at quote time
A clause can reach your subcontract without a mandate. Once it is in your document, it is a contract term all the same. The missing mandate is a fact about the regulation. It is not a ruling on your order.

- DFARS 252.225-7003(d)
DD Form 2139, Report of Contract Performance Outside the United States, submitted with the quote — or a computer-generated report carrying every field it has
Owed when the offshore portion exceeds $900,000 and the work could have been performed in the United States or Canada
When it is used
A solicitation provision. 225.7204(a): use it in solicitations with a value exceeding $20 million. The reporting duty inside it fires only if the offeror knows that it or a first-tier subcontractor intends to perform part of the contract outside the United States and Canada that exceeds $900,000 in value and could be performed inside the United States or Canada (225.7201). 'United States' here means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas — Canada is added by the clause, not by the definition. 225.7202 removes the entire subpart from contracts for commercial products, commercial services, construction, ores, natural gas, utilities, petroleum products and crudes, timber (logs), and subsistence — a wider carve-out than most Part 225 clauses carry.
Read closely
(c) sets what goes in it, and it is broader than the word performance suggests: subcontracts, purchases and intracompany transfers all count wherever the transfer starts in a foreign location, an offshore affiliate included. (e) says the form can be obtained from the contracting officer or over the Internet. The dollar test runs on the offshore portion, not on the quote.

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.
