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

FAR 36.510 Operations and storage areas.

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 52.236-10, Operations and Storage Areas, in certain fixed-price construction or dismantling/demolition/removal contracts. It matters because the clause is mandatory when the expected contract amount exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold, and optional at or below that threshold.

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

What it requires

  • Insert the clause at 52.236-10 in solicitations and contracts when a fixed-price construction or fixed-price dismantling, demolition, or removal of improvements contract is contemplated and the contract amount is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold
