    Certificate of Complaince-Federal Anit-Discrimination Law.pdf
    Acquisition Alert 25-07, dated February 2025, outlines the implications of President's Executive Order 14173, which revokes previous mandates promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in federal contracting. The new order nullifies earlier Executive Orders, including EO 11246, which enforced non-discrimination and affirmative action guidelines for government contractors. As a result, all contractors must now certify compliance with applicable federal anti-discrimination laws and confirm that they do not engage in DEI programs that contravene these laws. This certification is essential for government payment decisions and is subject to accountability under the False Claims Act. The document includes a certification template that contractors must fill out, sign, and date, emphasizing the new legal requirements for federal contracting activities. Overall, the alert marks a shift in federal policy towards a merit-based approach to contracting, with potential consequences for current and future contractors involved in federal projects.
