FAR 22.407 Solicitation provision and contract clauses.

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 which labor-related clauses and provisions to include in solicitations and contracts for construction work within the United States. It matters to contractors because it determines which wage, payroll, subcontracting, and price-adjustment requirements will appear in their construction contracts. The specific clauses depend on the contract value, contract type, and whether the work is primarily construction.

Applies to: Solicitations and contracts for construction within the United States, including certain non-construction contracts containing construction work

Key terms: Construction Wage Rate Requirements · cost-reimbursement construction · fixed-price contract · option provisions · secondary site of the work
