    AA_25_07_Certification re anti-discrimination law.docx
    The U.S. Embassy in Minsk outlines the implications of Executive Order 14173, which revokes previous mandates promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in federal contracting. The order eliminates affirmative action requirements and the provisions of EO 11246 that enforced non-discrimination in employment for government contractors. Consequently, all contractors are now required to certify compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws, affirming they do not promote DEI programs that violate these laws. This certification is significant for the government's payment decisions and subject to the False Claims Act. The document emphasizes that contractors must explicitly confirm their adherence to these stipulations in any agreements with the government. This shift underscores a move towards evaluating contractor performance based on merit, aligning with the administration's focus on eliminating perceived discrimination in federal programs.
