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

FAR 52.222-12 Contract Termination—Debarment.

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 says that if a contractor breaches certain labor-related contract clauses, that breach can be grounds for terminating the contract and for debarment as a contractor and subcontractor under 29 CFR 5.12. It matters because violating those labor standards can cost a contractor both the contract and future eligibility to receive contracts.

Applies to: Contractors and subcontractors subject to the listed labor clauses

Key terms: breach · termination of the contract · debarment · Contractor · subcontractor
