FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 52: Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses › Subpart 52.2

FAR 52.219-13 Notice of Set-Aside of Orders.

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 tells contractors that the Contracting Officer may or will set aside certain orders for small business concerns identified in FAR 19.000(a)(3). Any notice of set-aside applies only to the specific orders that have been set aside, not to other orders. It matters because it signals that individual orders under a contract may be reserved for small businesses.

Applies to: Contractors holding contracts that include this clause
