    Simple Explanation

    In a new set of rules, the government plans to make it clearer and easier for small businesses to work with them, especially in places like Puerto Rico. They want to make sure everyone knows the rules, but they didn't really explain how this will help or what the new benefits are.

    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2025-02 summarizes new regulations agreed upon by the Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council. The Department of Defense (DoD), General Services Administration (GSA), and NASA are involved in implementing these rules, which include requirements for airlines contracting with the Federal Government to report on human trafficking prevention efforts and updates to the certification process for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses seeking certain government contracts. These updates primarily aim to improve regulatory compliance and reinforce ethical standards without significantly impacting small businesses. Most changes go into effect on December 16, 2024, with some rules effective January 3, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The government has made new rules for companies that sell things or services to them, like asking airlines to share what they do to stop bad things like human trafficking, and helping some veterans' small businesses get government jobs more easily. These changes make sure everyone plays fair without making it too hard for small businesses.
