Subpart 2922.1 - Basic Labor Policies

Potential or actual labor disputes that may interfere with contract performance must be reported by the contracting activity to the Office of the Solicitor for legal advice or assistance. It may also become necessary to seek advice or assistance from the National Office of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, 2100 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20006, or other mediation agencies.

Before initiating any action under FAR 22.101-4 for removal of items from contractors' facilities, the contracting officer must obtain legal advice from the Office of the Solicitor.

The “agency approving official” as identified in FAR 22.103-4(a) and (b) is a manager, supervisor, or executive responsible for the contracting officer's technical representative (see 2901.603-71).
