FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 36: Construction and Architect-engineer Contracts › Subpart 36.5

FAR 36.507 Permits and responsibilities.

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 contracting officer to include the Permits and Responsibilities clause (52.236-7) in certain construction and demolition-type solicitations and contracts. It matters to contractors because it signals that the clause will appear in those contracts, so they should review it when bidding.

Applies to: Contracting officers handling fixed-price or cost-reimbursement construction contracts, or fixed-price dismantling, demolition, or removal of improvements contracts
