Overview
Section 52.205 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) is currently designated as "[Reserved]," meaning there is no active regulatory text or contract clause associated with this specific number.
Key Rules
- Placeholder Status: The "[Reserved]" designation is used to maintain the numerical integrity of the FAR system when a section has been deleted or is being held for future use.
- No Regulatory Weight: Because the section is reserved, it contains no enforceable clauses, provisions, or instructions for government personnel or contractors.
- Structural Continuity: It ensures that the numbering of subsequent sections (such as FAR 52.206) remains consistent even if the content for 52.205 is removed or absent.
Practical Implications
- Solicitations and Contracts: Contracting Officers cannot cite or incorporate FAR 52.205 into any procurement documents as it contains no actionable language.
- Compliance: Contractors and offerors have no compliance obligations or reporting requirements related to this specific section.
