FAR 52.236-24 Work Oversight in Architect-Engineer Contracts.

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 states that the work performed by the contractor under an architect-engineer contract is subject to the general oversight, supervision, direction, control, and approval of the Contracting Officer. It matters because it confirms the Contracting Officer's authority over the work, which can affect how the contractor performs and what gets approved.
