A.  Applicability to Construction

Comment: One respondent was concerned that the prescription at FAR 25.1103, which requires use of the FAR provision at 52.225-25, Prohibition on Engaging in Sanctioned Activities Relating to Iran--Certification, in "each solicitation for the acquisition of products or services" could be interpreted to exclude construction. The respondent suggested changing the prescription to require use in "all solicitations."

Response: The phrase "products or services" was intended to include construction, as indicated in the FAR clause matrix. DoD, GSA, and NASA have agreed to change the final rule to require use of the provision in "all solicitations."
