FAR 22.810 Solicitation provisions 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 solicitation provisions and contract clauses related to equal employment opportunity they must include when a contract will contain the Equal Opportunity clause at 52.222-26. It matters to contractors because it determines which EEO-related provisions and clauses will appear in the solicitation and contract they must comply with.

Applies to: Contracting officers preparing solicitations and contracts that will include the Equal Opportunity clause at 52.222-26

Key terms: Equal Opportunity · Prohibition of Segregated Facilities · Previous Contracts and Compliance Reports · Affirmative Action Compliance · Notification of Visa Denial
