Important Information:

1. This solicitation is subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Quoters should carefully review the attached Wage Determination. While the Wage Determination may contain language referencing the implementation of Executive Order 14026 (Increasing the Minimum Wage for Federal Contractors), the application of Executive Order 14026 and its implementing regulations under this contract are governed by the FAR. As of the date of this solicitation, Federal Acquisition Regulation FAC Number 2025-05 has not issued any amendments to FAR clause 52.222-55. Therefore, FAR clause 52.222-55, Minimum Wages for Contractor Workers Under Executive Order 14026, as currently in effect under the FAR, will be incorporated into any resulting contract. Although Executive Order 14026 has been rescinded, implementing language and regulations rescinding FAR 52.222-55 have not been issued. Therefore, FAR 52.222-55 remains in full force and effect until formally modified or rescinded through the FAR. Quoters are responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable FAR clauses, including, but not limited to, FAR clause 52.222-55, as currently in effect. Any inconsistency between the attached Wage Determination and the requirements of FAR clause 52.222-55 shall be resolved in favor of the FAR clause. By submitting a quote in response to this solicitation, the quoter acknowledges and agrees to the terms and conditions set forth in this information.
