FAR 22.101-4 Removal of items from contractors' facilities affected by work stoppages.

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 agencies how to remove items from a contractor's facility when a work stoppage is affecting it. It matters to contractors because the agency must follow its procedures, try to get contractor and union approval for shipping urgently needed items, and avoid force or actions that could harm labor-management relations.

Applies to: Contractors whose facilities are affected by work stoppages

What it requires

  • Remove items in accordance with agency procedures
  • Attempt to arrange approval from the contractor and union representative for shipment of urgently required items
  • Avoid the use or appearance of force
  • Prevent incidents that might detrimentally affect labor-management relations

The text

(a) Items shall be removed from contractors' facilities affected by work stoppages in accordance with agency procedures. Agency procedures should allow for the following:

(1) Determine whether removal of items is in the Government's interest. Normally the determining factor is the critical needs of an agency program.

(2) Attempt to arrange with the contractor and the union representative involved their approval of the shipment of urgently required items.

(3) Obtain appropriate approvals from within the agency.

(4) Determine who will remove the items from the plant(s) involved.

(b) Avoid the use or appearance of force and prevent incidents that might detrimentally affect labor-management relations.

(c) When two or more agencies' requirements are or may become involved in the removal of items, the contract administration office shall ensure that the necessary coordination is accomplished.
