FAR 24.302 Contract clause.

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 when to include the Privacy Training clause (FAR 52.224-3) in solicitations and contracts. It applies when contractor employees will have access to a system of records, handle personally identifiable information, or work on a system of records. If the agency requires only its own training, the clause is used with Alternate I.

Applies to: Contracting officers and contractors whose employees will access systems of records or handle personally identifiable information

What it requires

  • The contracting officer shall insert the clause at FAR 52.224-3, Privacy Training, in solicitations and contracts when contractor employees will have access to a system of records, handle personally identifiable information, or design, develop, maintain, or operate a system of records.
  • When an agency specifies that only its agency-provided training is acceptable, use the clause with its Alternate I.
