What is DFARS clause 252.204-7012 required for?

Answer options

• A. All DoD solicitations and contracts
• B. Solicitations and contracts that use FAR part 12 procedures
• C. Procurements solely for the acquisition of commercial off-the-shelf
• D. Commercial off-the-shelf sold in the marketplace without modifications

Correct answer: A

Explanation

DFARS clause 252.204-7012 is mandated for all DoD solicitations and contracts to ensure that contractors adequately safeguard covered defense information. The other options are incorrect because they specify limited circumstances or types of procurements which do not encompass the broad requirement applicable to all DoD contracts.
