What is DFARS?: Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). DFARS is a set of regulations and restrictions governing the sourcing and origination of raw materials. This is meant to protect the U.S. defense industry from being exposed to over reliance on foreign supplied raw materials and supply.
