FAR 52.236-8 Other 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 lets the Government award other contracts for work at or near the same site as your contract.

You also must not do anything that interferes with their work.
