This solicitation implements two FAR class deviations to ensure compliance with Executive Orders 14148, 14173, 14168 and 14208, issued since January 20, 2025. These deviations reflect recent policy updates and remove outdated requirements, as outlined below.

The following FAR provisions and clauses are hereby removed in their entirety from the LMIR Stewardship BPA:

• 52.222-21 Prohibition of Segregated Facilities

• 52.222-22 Previous Contracts and Compliance Reports

• 52.222-23 Notice of Requirement for Affirmative Action To Ensure Equal Employment

Opportunity for Construction

• 52.222-24 Preaward On-Site Equal Opportunity Compliance Evaluation

• 52.222-25 Affirmative Action Compliance

• 52.222-26 Equal Opportunity

• 52.222-27 Affirmative Action Compliance Requirements for Construction

• 52.222-29 Notification of visa denial

• 52.223-10 Waste Reduction Program (MAY 2024)

• 52.223-19 Compliance with Environmental Management Systems (MAY 2011)

• 52.223-22 Public Disclosure of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Reduction Goals—

Representation (DEC 2016)

• 52.222-55 Minimum Wages for Contractor Workers Under Executive Order 14026*

*This provision was removed to comply with the Executive Order titled "Additional Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions," dated March 14, 2025.

The following FAR clauses now include deviations to align with recent Executive Orders:

• 52.204-8 Annual Representations and Certifications (JAN 2025) (DEVIATION FEB 2025)

• 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications—Commercial Products and

Commercial Services (MAY 2024) (DEVIATION FEB 2025)

• 52.212-5 Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statutes or Executive

Orders—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (JAN 2025) (DEVIATION FEB 2025)

• 52.223-1 Biobased Product Certification (MAY 2024) (DEVIATION FEB 2025)

• 52.223-2 Reporting of Biobased Products Under Service and Construction Contracts (MAY

2024) (DEVIATION FEB 2025)

• 52.223-10 Waste Reduction Program (MAY 2024) (DEVIATION FEB 2025)

• 52.223-23, Sustainable Products and Services (MAY 2024 (DEVIATION FEB 2025))

12363N26Q4167 GAOA SCENIC BYWAY PAVEMENT STRIPING Page 7 of 118

All call orders will incorporate these changes by reference at award.

Disclaimer: 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. Examples 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.

In advancement of Section 2 of Executive Order 14208, the removal of requirements related to Executive Order 14057 eliminates all non-statutory sustainability requirements or preferences in purchases of food service wares, including paper straws. In addition to removing requirements related to Executive Order 14057, the attachment also reflects recent updates to Code of Federal Regulation citations for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s BioPreferred® Program, a statutory purchasing preference program.

These class deviations will remain in effect until rescinded or incorporated into the FAR.
