About this file
This document is an Acquisition Alert detailing Executive Order 14173, "Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity" issued in February 2025. The Executive Order revokes previous diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, including EO 11246 on Equal Employment Opportunity, and requires federal contractors to certify compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws.
The alert mandates that all contractors must complete a certification form affirming: 1) they are in full compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws, and 2) they do not operate any DEI programs that potentially violate these laws. The certification is considered material to government payment decisions and is subject to the False Claims Act. Contractors must sign and submit this certification, acknowledging that false statements could result in legal consequences under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4).

Executive Order 14173
Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity
Background
The President’s Executive Order titled Ending Illegal Discrimination And Restoring Merit-Based
Opportunity1 revokes EOs from previous administrations that promoted diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), affirmative action, and equal opportunity programs. The EO also revokes EO

Acquisition Impact
All contractors must certify that they do not operate any programs promoting DEI that violate any applicable anti-discrimination laws, and agree that such certification is material for purposes of the government’s payment decision and therefore subject to the False Claims Act. See 31
U.S.C. 3729(b)(4).
