FAR 19.1408 Contract clauses.

The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.

In plain English

This section tells contracting officers when to include certain clauses in solicitations and contracts. It requires the SDVOSB set-aside or sole-source notice clause in acquisitions set aside or awarded on a sole-source basis to eligible service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns, including certain multiple-award contract orders. It also points to other sections for the limitations on subcontracting and nonmanufacturer rule clauses.

Applies to: Contracting officers handling SDVOSB set-aside or sole-source acquisitions

What it requires

  • Insert the clause at 52.219-27 in solicitations and contracts for acquisitions set aside or awarded on a sole-source basis to eligible SDVOSB concerns under 19.1405 and 19.1406
  • Include that clause in multiple-award contracts when orders may be set aside for SDVOSB concerns as described in 8.405-5 and 16.505(b)(2)(i)(F), or when orders may be issued directly to one SDVOSB contractor under 19.504(c)(1)(ii)
