FAR 28.310 Contract clause for work on a Government installation.
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 Insurance—Work on a Government Installation clause (52.228-5) in solicitations and contracts. It applies when a fixed-price contract is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold and requires work on a Government installation, with limited exceptions. If you bid on such work, you may need to carry the insurance the clause requires.
Applies to: Solicitations and contracts for fixed-price work on a Government installation
