FAR 52.247-12 Supervision, Labor, or Materials.

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 requires the contractor to provide adequate supervision, labor, materials, supplies, and equipment needed to perform all services under the contract in an orderly, timely, and efficient manner. It matters because it makes the contractor responsible for supplying these resources as part of the contract. It is used in solicitations and contracts for transportation or transportation-related services when the contractor must furnish supervision, labor, or materials.
