    The document outlines Acquisition Alert 25-07, issued in February 2025, which is a direct consequence of Executive Order 14173 aimed at eliminating illegal discrimination and reinstating merit-based opportunities. This Executive Order revokes earlier directives that endorsed diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), affirmative action, and equal opportunity programs, including the revocation of EO 11246, which previously ensured non-discrimination in employment for government contractors. Following this order, all contractors are now required to certify that they adhere to federal anti-discrimination laws and do not maintain DEI programs that contravene these laws. This certification is termed as material in government payment decisions and is subject to scrutiny under the False Claims Act. Contractors must complete a formal declaration confirming their compliance with these regulations and their non-participation in DEI initiatives that violate the law. The alert signifies a shift in federal contracting standards, emphasizing compliance and accountability concerning anti-discrimination laws, likely affecting current and future government RFPs and federal grants framework.
