FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 22: Application of Labor Laws to Government Acquisitions › Subpart 22.10

FAR 22.1014 Delay over 60 days in bid opening or commencement of work.

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 addresses what happens when a wage determination was obtained through the e98 process and bid opening or start of work is delayed more than 60 days from the date shown on the previously submitted e98. In that situation, the contracting officer must submit a new e98, and any revised wage determination received as a result supersedes the earlier response as the applicable wage determination for that acquisition.

Applies to: Contracting officers handling acquisitions with an e98 wage determination

What it requires

  • Submit a new e98 if bid opening or commencement of work under a negotiated contract is delayed more than 60 days from the date indicated on the previously submitted e98
