FAR 4.1804 Solicitation provisions 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 which solicitation provisions and contract clauses about entity identifiers and ownership information they must include in solicitations and contracts. It matters to contractors because it determines which registration, identifier, and ownership disclosures will appear in the solicitations they respond to and the contracts they receive.
