FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 52: Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses › Subpart 52.1

FAR 52.107 Provisions and clauses prescribed in subpart 52.1.

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 FAR provisions and clauses to insert when they want to incorporate other provisions or clauses by reference, make changes to a solicitation or contract, or use a provision or clause with an authorized deviation. It matters to contractors because it explains how these referenced or altered terms, and any deviations, will appear in the solicitation or contract you receive.

Applies to: Contracting officers preparing solicitations and contracts
