System updates may lag policy updates. The System for Award Management (SAM) may continue to require entities to complete representations based on provisions that are not included in agency solicitations. Example include 52.222-25, Affirmative Action Compliance, and paragraph (d) of

52-212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications – Commercial Products and Commercial

Services. Contracting officers will not consider these representations when making award decisions or enforce requirements. Entities are not required to, nor are they able to, update their entity registration to remove these representations in SAM.
