FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 22: Application of Labor Laws to Government Acquisitions › Subpart 22.6

FAR 22.602 Statutory requirements.

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 says that most federal contracts over $20,000 for manufacturing or furnishing supplies must include or reference certain statutory stipulations. These stipulations cover minimum wages, maximum hours, child labor, convict labor, and safe and sanitary working conditions. It matters because contractors must ensure these required clauses are in their contracts unless an exemption applies.

Applies to: Contracts over $20,000 for supplies with executive agencies, the District of Columbia, or wholly government-owned corporations

What it requires

  • Include or incorporate by reference the statutory stipulations on minimum wages, maximum hours, child labor, convict labor, and safe and sanitary working conditions
