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

FAR 52.222-22 Previous Contracts and Compliance Reports.

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 provision requires an offeror to represent whether it has participated in a previous contract or subcontract subject to the Equal Opportunity clause and whether it has filed all required compliance reports. It also requires the offeror to obtain similar representations from proposed subcontractors before awarding subcontracts. This matters because it ensures compliance with equal opportunity reporting obligations.

Applies to: Offerors responding to solicitations that include this provision

What it requires

  • Represent whether it has or has not participated in a previous contract or subcontract subject to the Equal Opportunity clause
  • Represent whether it has or has not filed all required compliance reports
  • Obtain representations from proposed subcontractors indicating submission of required compliance reports before subcontract awards
