52.243
[Reserved]
FAR 52.243 is reserved and contains no requirements; contractors must refer to the specific changes clause applicable to their contract type.
Overview
- FAR 52.243 is marked as [Reserved], indicating that there is currently no active provision or clause under this section number. This placeholder is maintained for organizational consistency and potential future use.
- The section references several related clauses (52.243-1 through 52.243-7) that address changes in various contract types, but 52.243 itself contains no substantive requirements.
Key Rules
- Reserved Status
- No regulatory text or requirements are present in FAR 52.243; it serves as a placeholder.
- Reference to Related Clauses
- Contractors should consult the specific changes clauses (e.g., 52.243-1 for fixed-price contracts) for applicable requirements.
Responsibilities
- Contracting Officers: No direct actions required under 52.243; must use the appropriate changes clause for the contract type.
- Contractors: No compliance obligations under 52.243; must comply with the changes clause incorporated into their contract.
- Agencies: No oversight or reporting obligations specific to 52.243.
Practical Implications
- This reserved section exists to maintain the structure and numbering of the FAR, ensuring clarity and consistency.
- Contractors should not expect any requirements or guidance from 52.243 itself, but must be aware of and comply with the relevant changes clause applicable to their contract type.
- Common confusion may arise if contractors mistakenly look for substantive requirements in this reserved section rather than the active clauses listed.
