This document is a Class Determination and Findings regarding the use of the "Warranty of Construction" clause in fixed-price construction solicitations and contracts issued by the South Atlantic Gulf Region, Contracting Division, Atlanta, Georgia.

• Authorization: The document authorizes the use of the "Warranty of Construction" clause in accordance with FAR 52.246-21.
• Findings: It outlines the rationale for including the clause, noting that defects in construction are often identified after project acceptance due to environmental influences and system use. It also states that warranties are standard in the industry and are not expected to significantly impact costs. The inclusion of a manufacturer's recommendation is often relied upon, making the warranty clause beneficial.
• Determination: It cites DIAR subpart 1446.704, which grants the Chief of the Contracting Office (CCO) the authority to determine the use of a warranty. The document clarifies that the Regional or Center Chief of Contracting (RCC) is considered the CCO for this purpose and has the authority to issue a class waiver.
• Approval: The "Warranty of Construction" clause is approved for use at the discretion of the Contracting Officer (CO) in all fixed-price construction solicitations and resultant contracts issued by Contracting Operations East, pursuant to FAR 46.710(e).
• Signatory: The determination is signed by the Chief of the Contracting Office, Contracting Operations East, dated 03/14/2024, and expires 03/13/2029.

This document informs bidders that the "Warranty of Construction" clause will be included in solicitations and contracts issued by Contracting Operations East. Bidders should be aware of this requirement and its implications for their proposals and contract performance.
