10.5 A presidential Executive order and subsequent Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) rule required federal contractors to use E-Verify to electronically verify the employment eligibility of employees working under covered federal contracts. The order and the rule reinforce Federal government policy that the Federal government does business only with organizations that have a legal workforce.

This is an annual requirement that shall be re-submitted to the DGR 90 days prior to the end of each Period of Performance beginning December 1, 2018.
