FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 22: Application of Labor Laws to Government Acquisitions › Subpart 22.14

FAR 22.1408 Contract clause.

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 when to include the Equal Opportunity for Workers with Disabilities clause in a solicitation or contract. The clause is required when the contract exceeds or is expected to exceed $20,000, unless an exception applies. It matters to contractors because it determines whether this equal-opportunity requirement will be part of their contract.

Applies to: Solicitations and contracts exceeding or expected to exceed $20,000, with stated exceptions
