FAR 52.222-42 Statement of Equivalent Rates for Federal Hires.

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 identifies the classes of service employees expected to work on the contract and lists the wages and fringe benefits they would receive if hired directly by the federal agency. It is provided for information only and is not a wage determination, so it does not set the actual pay required under the contract.

Applies to: Service contracts subject to the Service Contract Labor Standards statute

Key terms: Service Contract Labor Standards statute · wage determination · fringe benefits · service employees · contracting agency
