FAR 28.311-1 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 clause at 52.228-7, Insurance—Liability to Third Persons, in solicitations and contracts. It applies when a cost-reimbursement contract is expected, but not for construction contracts or architect-engineer services. For contractors, this means the clause may appear in cost-reimbursement solicitations and contracts, affecting insurance requirements.

Applies to: Contracting officers and contractors involved in cost-reimbursement contracts, except construction and architect-engineer services
