FAR 52.223-22 Public Disclosure of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Reduction Goals—Representation.

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 asks an offeror to represent whether it publicly discloses its greenhouse gas emissions and whether it publicly discloses a quantitative greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal. The representation must be completed if the offeror received $7.5 million or more in Federal contract awards in the prior Federal fiscal year, and is optional below that amount. If the offeror answers "does" to either question, it must provide the publicly accessible website where that information is reported.
