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

FAR 52.222-1 Notice to the Government of Labor Disputes.

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 requires a contractor to promptly notify the Contracting Officer if it knows of an actual or potential labor dispute that is delaying or could delay timely performance of the contract. The notice must include all relevant information. It matters because failing to give this notice could affect the contractor's obligations and the Government's ability to respond to schedule risks.

Applies to: Contractors performing a contract that includes this clause

What it requires
