FAR 3.808 Solicitation provision and 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 two specific provisions about lobbying-related payments in solicitations and contracts. It matters to contractors because if a solicitation or contract is expected to exceed $200,000, they will see these certification and limitation requirements.
