FAR 52.204-19 Incorporation by Reference of Representations and Certifications.

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 clause makes the contractor's representations and certifications part of the contract by reference, including those completed electronically in SAM. It matters because the contractor is bound by those statements even though they are not repeated in the contract text.

Applies to: Contractors whose representations and certifications are incorporated into the contract
