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

FAR 22.1015 Discovery of errors by the Department of Labor.

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 the Department of Labor finds that a contracting officer wrongly decided the Service Contract Labor Standards statute did not apply, or failed to include a required wage determination. The contracting officer must then add the clause at 52.222-41 and any applicable wage determination to the contract within 30 days of being notified. The contractor's price is equitably adjusted to reflect any changed cost of performance.

Applies to: Contracting officers and contractors on service contracts covered by the Service Contract Labor Standards statute

What it requires

  • Include the clause at 52.222-41 and any applicable wage determination in the contract within 30 days of notification by the Department of Labor
  • Equitably adjust the contract price to reflect any changed cost of performance resulting from incorporating a wage determination or revision

The text

If the Department of Labor discovers and determines, whether before or after a contract award, that a contracting officer made an erroneous determination that the Service Contract Labor Standards statute did not apply to a particular acquisition or failed to include an appropriate wage determination in a covered contract, the contracting officer, within 30 days of notification by the Department of Labor, shall include in the contract the clause at 52.222-41 and any applicable wage determination issued by the Administrator. If the contract is subject to 41 U.S.C. 6707(f), the Administrator may require retroactive application of that wage determination. The contracting officer shall equitably adjust the contract price to reflect any changed cost of performance resulting from incorporating a wage determination or revision.
