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

FAR 52.222-25 Affirmative Action Compliance.

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 developed and maintains affirmative action programs at each establishment as required by the Secretary of Labor's rules, or whether it has not previously had contracts subject to that written affirmative action requirement. It matters because the contractor must accurately state its compliance status when submitting an offer.

Applies to: Offerors responding to solicitations that include this provision
