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 section lists the standard forms used to apply federal labor laws to Government acquisitions. It tells contractors which forms are prescribed for things like requesting wage determinations, acknowledging required subcontract clauses, and reporting payroll. Knowing these forms helps contractors comply with labor-law requirements on covered contracts.
