DFARS 252.225-7004 Report of Intended Performance Outside the United States and Canada—Submission after Award
Does the regulation require it to flow down?
No
There is no paragraph directing insertion in subcontracts. It reaches you as a data-feed obligation: the prime owes a report about you 30 days before it awards your subcontract, and another one whenever your offshore plans change. Primes convert that into a contractual notice duty on the supplier, usually with their own thresholds rather than the DFARS ones
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 252.225-7004(d)
DD Form 2139, or a computer-generated report carrying every field it has, sent to the contracting officer with a copy to the pricing and contracting policy office
Owed when offshore performance is known or has changed since the report filed with the offer; where the offshore work sits in a lower-tier subcontract the report is due 30 days before that subcontract is awarded
When it is used
The contract-phase twin of 252.225-7003. 225.7204(b): use it in solicitations and contracts with a value exceeding $20 million. The duty fires when the contractor or a first-tier subcontractor will perform any part of the contract outside the United States and Canada that exceeds the threshold specified in DFARS 225.7201(a) — the clause deliberately does not hard-code the number, so it self-updates; as of 2026-08-05 that number is $900,000 — and could be performed inside the United States or Canada. 225.7202 excludes commercial products, commercial services, construction, ores, natural gas, utilities, petroleum products and crudes, timber (logs), and subsistence.
Read closely
(b) sets when a report is owed and (c) where it goes. Nothing already filed with the offer is resubmitted unless the information changed, so the duty is to notice the change — which lands on whoever owns purchasing when a source moves offshore mid-program. The clock starts at the sourcing decision rather than at first delivery.

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.
