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

FAR 52.232-11 Extras.

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 says that a contractor will not be paid for extra work unless the Contracting Officer has authorized both the extra work and its price in writing. It matters because doing extra work without that written authorization can leave the contractor unpaid.

Applies to: Fixed-price supply, fixed-price service, and transportation contracts that include this clause

What it requires

  • Obtain written authorization from the Contracting Officer for any extras and their price before expecting payment
