FAR 45.502 Subcontractor and alternate prime contractor locations.
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 explains how property administration can be extended to subcontractor and alternate prime contractor locations. It lets the property administrator request support from another contract administration office, with prime contractor consent for subcontractor locations, and requires the prime property administrator to accept the delegated administrator's findings. It matters because it affects how property management compliance is monitored at those locations.
Applies to: Prime contractors, subcontractors, and property administrators involved in Government property administration
What it requires
- The prime property administrator shall accept the findings of the delegated support property administrator.
- The prime property administrator shall advise the prime contractor of the results of property management reviews, including deficiencies found with the subcontractor's property management system.
- If the prime contractor does not provide consent to support property administration at subcontractor locations, the property administrator shall refer the matter to the contracting officer for resolution.
