Attachment 2 - FAR CD 2025-01 and 02.pdf

This is a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) deviation document implementing Executive Order 14173 "Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity" and Executive Order 14148 "Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions," effective January 17, 2025. The document modifies federal contracting regulations to remove or restrict affirmative action, equal opportunity, and environmental sustainability requirements that were previously mandated.

Key modifications include: reserving or deleting provisions related to previous contracts and compliance reports (52.222-22), affirmative action compliance (52.222-25), equal opportunity (52.222-26), apprentices and trainees (52.222-9, 22.406-4), and segregated facilities (52.222-21). The deviation expands exceptions to sustainable products and services procurement requirements, particularly for biobased products in military equipment and certain intelligence operations. Environmental management systems requirements and greenhouse gas emissions disclosures are reserved or deleted for most solicitations. The document removes or restricts requirements for contractors to report on biobased product purchases, waste reduction programs, and environmental compliance. Sustainability requirements under 23.1 are narrowed significantly, with exemptions for military applications, intelligence activities, and certain national security operations. Small business program referrals are modified to exclude those suspended or debarred under the previous Executive Order 11246. The FAR 2025-03 baseline applies, with the deviation effective January 17, 2025, and baseline OMB control numbers are provided for affected FAR segments.
