FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 22: Application of Labor Laws to Government Acquisitions › Subpart 22.10
FAR 22.1009-3 All possible places of performance identified.
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 the contracting officer how to handle wage determinations when more than one place of performance is possible for a service contract. It matters to contractors because it means the solicitation should include wage determinations for every location where work might be performed, and the solicitation may be amended if new locations come up before offers close.
Applies to: Contracting officers on service contracts where the place of performance is uncertain
What it requires
- Obtain a wage determination for each locality where services may be performed
- If potential offerors in previously unidentified places are learned of before the closing date, obtain wage determinations for those additional places and amend the solicitation to include all wage determinations
- Extend the time for submission of final offers if necessary
- Follow the procedures in 22.1009-4
