About this file
This document is an Acquisition Alert related to Executive Order 14173, which revokes previous diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and mandates a new certification process for federal contractors. The Executive Order eliminates previous affirmative action and equal opportunity requirements, specifically revoking Executive Order 11246 that previously mandated non-discrimination in employment by government contractors and subcontractors.
All contractors must now certify that they: 1) are in full compliance with all federal anti-discrimination laws, and 2) do not operate any DEI programs that could potentially violate federal anti-discrimination laws. The certification is considered material to government payment decisions and is subject to the False Claims Act. Contractors must complete a certification form acknowledging these requirements, with an authorized representative signing and dating the document to confirm compliance.

Acquisition Alert 25-07 February 2025
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 11246 (Equal Employment Opportunity), which mandated non-discrimination in employment by government contractors and subcontractors, imposed affirmative action requirements for most contractors, and was included in many government contracts and federal assistance agreements.
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).

ANTI-DISCRIMINATION LAW
