FAR 19.1508 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 which clauses to include in solicitations and contracts that are set aside for, or awarded on a sole-source basis to, EDWOSB or WOSB concerns. It matters to contractors because it determines which notice clauses will appear in those solicitations and contracts, including certain multiple-award contracts.

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

What it requires

  • Insert clause 52.219-29 in solicitations and contracts set aside or awarded on a sole-source basis to EDWOSB concerns under 19.1505(b) or 19.1506(a)
  • Insert clause 52.219-30 in solicitations and contracts set aside or awarded on a sole-source basis to WOSB concerns under 19.1505(c) or 19.1506(b)
