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

It also states that the Contracting Officer will not adjust the contract price to cover wage or benefit increases or decreases arising from that wage determination, from a wage determination applied by law, or from other Construction Wage Rate Requirements obligations, unless the contract provides for an adjustment elsewhere.
