FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 222: Application of Labor Laws to Government Acquisitions › Subpart 222.1

DFARS 222.103-4 Approvals.

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 the department or agency approving official how to handle approvals of overtime premium pay when more than one contracting office has contracts at the same contractor facility. It matters because approval by one office could affect the performance or cost of another office's contracts, so coordination is required.

Applies to: Department or agency officials who approve overtime premium pay

What it requires

  • Obtain the concurrence of other appropriate approving officials
  • Seek agreement on which contracts overtime premiums will be approved under when two or more contracting offices have current contracts at the same contractor facility and one office's approval will affect another office's contracts
