About this file
This is an Acquisition Alert (25-07) from February 2025 that introduces a new contractor certification requirement related to Executive Order 14173 "Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity." The alert outlines a mandatory certification that contractors and prospective offerors must complete regarding compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws.
The certification requires contractors to affirm two key points: 1) they are in compliance with all applicable federal anti-discrimination laws, which is material to government payment decisions under the False Claims Act, and 2) they do not operate any Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs that violate federal anti-discrimination laws. The document notes that this Executive Order revokes previous EOs related to DEI, affirmative action, and equal opportunity programs, including EO 11246 which had mandated non-discrimination in employment by government contractors and subcontractors. The certification includes fields for the contractor's company name, authorized representative details, signature, and date.

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).
CERTIFICATION REGARDING COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL
ANTI-DISCRIMINATION LAW
