This executive order establishes a government-wide policy to meet or exceed a 5% procurement participation goal for women-owned small businesses (WOSBs) in both prime contracts and subcontracts. It assigns implementation responsibilities to federal agencies, the Small Business Administration, and creates a new SBA position to oversee compliance, reporting, and outreach.
This memorandum delegates presidential authority under the Assignment of Claims Act (Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994) to all federal departments and agencies. It designates all departments and agencies as subject to contract assignment provisions previously limited to DOD, GSA, and DOE, and delegates 'determination of need' authority to agency heads for their respective contracts.
This executive order prohibits federal agencies from contracting with employers that permanently replace lawfully striking employees. It authorizes the Secretary of Labor to investigate complaints, terminate existing contracts for convenience, and debar contractors from future federal work, with the goal of reducing prolonged labor disputes that could disrupt government operations.
This executive order directs federal agencies to fundamentally reform procurement practices by streamlining rules, increasing use of commercial products and simplified acquisition procedures, expanding government purchase card use, and establishing procurement executives and workforce training programs. It also creates coordination mechanisms through the Office of Federal Procurement Policy and revokes the prior Executive Order 12352.
This executive order directs federal departments and agencies to aggressively enforce existing laws promoting procurement contracts and subcontracts for small disadvantaged businesses (SDBs), historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), and minority institutions (MIs). It mandates strict adherence to statutory participation goals of at least 5%, requires OSDBU directors to report directly to agency heads, and calls for anti-fraud enforcement without diminishing outreach efforts.
