FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 22: Application of Labor Laws to Government Acquisitions › Subpart 22.17

FAR 22.1701 Applicability.

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 states that the subpart applies to all acquisitions, but the certification and compliance plan requirement in 22.1703(c) only applies to certain overseas portions of a contract or subcontract. It matters because it limits when that specific requirement is triggered, based on the type of work, location, and estimated value.

Applies to: All acquisitions, with a narrower scope for the certification and compliance plan requirement
