FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 22: Application of Labor Laws to Government Acquisitions › Subpart 22.4

FAR 22.404-7 Correction of wage determinations containing clerical errors.

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 allows the Department of Labor to fix clerical errors in wage determinations, either on its own or when a contracting agency asks. The correction takes effect immediately and applies to any solicitation or active contract. Contractors should know that a wage determination they are relying on can change because of such a correction, and the contracting officer must then follow specific notice procedures.

Applies to: Contracting officers and contractors using wage determinations in solicitations or contracts

What it requires

  • Before contract award, the contracting officer must follow the procedures in 22.404-5(b)(1) or (2)(i) or (ii) in sealed bidding, and the procedures in 22.404-5(c)(3) or (4) in negotiations.
  • After contract award, the contracting officer must follow the procedures at 22.404-6(b)(5), except that for contract modifications to exercise an option to extend the term of the contract, the contracting officer must follow the procedures at 22.404-6(d)(2).
