FAR 4.607 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 when to include certain solicitation provisions and a contract clause about women-owned business status and unique entity identifiers. It matters to contractors because it determines which representations and identifier-maintenance requirements will appear in the solicitation and resulting contract.

Applies to: Contracting officers preparing solicitations and contracts
