52.217
[Reserved]
FAR 52.217 is reserved and contains no active requirements; refer to adjacent sections for relevant clauses on options and multi-year contracts.
Overview
- FAR 52.217 is marked as "[Reserved]," indicating that there is currently no active provision or clause under this section number. The reserved status is used to maintain the organizational structure of the FAR and to allow for future regulatory updates or additions without disrupting the numbering system.
Key Rules
- Reserved Status
- No regulatory text, requirements, or clauses are currently assigned to FAR 52.217 itself.
- Reference to Adjacent Clauses
- The surrounding clauses (52.217-2 through 52.217-12) address topics such as multi-year contract cancellation, evaluation of options, and reverse auctions, but 52.217 itself contains no substantive content.
Responsibilities
- Contracting Officers: No actions or requirements specific to FAR 52.217.
- Contractors: No compliance obligations under this section.
- Agencies: No oversight or reporting requirements for this reserved section.
Practical Implications
- The reserved status signals that contractors and contracting officers should look to adjacent sections (e.g., 52.217-2 through 52.217-12) for substantive requirements related to options, multi-year contracts, and reverse auctions. FAR 52.217 itself imposes no requirements or obligations.
