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

FAR 36.523 Site visit.

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 to include a site visit provision in certain construction solicitations. It matters to contractors because it signals when a site visit provision will appear and that an organized site visit may be held.

Applies to: Contracting officers issuing construction solicitations that include the Differing Site Conditions and Site Investigations clauses

What it requires

  • Insert a provision substantially the same as 52.236-27, Site Visit (Construction), in solicitations that include the clauses at 52.236-2 and 52.236-3
