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

FAR 52.241-1 Electric Service Territory Compliance 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 requires an offeror selling electricity to the government to represent that its offer is consistent with State law governing electric utility service, as required by Section 8093 of Public Law 100-202. It matters because the government must generally buy electricity in line with State utility rules, and the offeror must back up its representation if asked.

Applies to: Offerors proposing to sell electricity to a Federal department, agency, or instrumentality

What it requires

  • By signing the offer, represent that the offer to sell electricity is consistent with Section 8093 of Public Law 100-202
  • Upon request of the Contracting Officer, submit supporting legal and factual rationale for the representation
