The Only FAR-Compliant Standard Subcontract for Federal Construction Projects

Wednesday, November 18, 2009

ConsensusDOCS recently released the first and only Federal Subcontract Agreement designed specifically for federal government construction projects.  The release is especially timely in light of increased federal government construction activity, as well as implementation of new rules including E-Verify.  The ConsensusDOCS 752 - Subcontract for Federal Government Construction Projects - is designed to help contractors and subcontractors comply with complex federal laws and regulations.  

The ConsensusDOCS Federal Subcontract is the only standard agreement that addresses new terms and conditions essential to comply with the Federal Acquisition Regulation ("FAR").  Even seasoned federal government contractors, but especially those new to the federal market, should consider using ConsensusDOCS when subcontracting federal work.  The 752 addresses E-Verify, Ethics Compliance, the Federal Prompt Pay Act, and much more.  ConsensusDOCS even provides users a sample exhibit regarding required FAR flow-down provisions.
