52.208
[Reserved]
FAR 52.208 is reserved and imposes no requirements, but related clauses in the 52.208 series may still apply to your contract.
Overview
- FAR 52.208 is marked as "[Reserved]" and does not currently contain any regulatory text or requirements. This designation means that the section is intentionally left blank, often to preserve numbering for future use or to indicate that previous content has been removed or relocated. Contractors and contracting officers should be aware that there are no active provisions or clauses under 52.208 itself, though related clauses exist in the 52.208-x series (such as vehicle leasing and use of mandatory sources).
Key Rules
- Reserved Status
- No requirements, procedures, or clauses are currently assigned to FAR 52.208.
- Reference to Related Clauses
- Other clauses in the 52.208 series (e.g., 52.208-4 through 52.208-9) address specific topics like vehicle leasing and use of mandatory sources.
Responsibilities
- Contracting Officers: No actions required for 52.208 itself; review related clauses in the 52.208 series as applicable.
- Contractors: No compliance obligations under 52.208; ensure compliance with any referenced or related clauses in solicitations or contracts.
- Agencies: No oversight or reporting obligations specific to 52.208.
Practical Implications
- The reserved status signals that contractors and contracting officers should look to other sections for substantive requirements. It helps maintain the organizational structure of the FAR and avoids confusion about missing or relocated content. Always verify if related clauses in the 52.208 series are incorporated into your contract.
