  • 2025-00118 — Office of Federal Procurement Policy; Federal Acquisition Regulation: Pay Equity and Transparency in Federal Contracting
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 1404
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Department of Defense, General Services Administration, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and Office of Federal Procurement Policy have withdrawn a proposed rule and policy regarding pay equity and transparency in federal contracting. The rule, which was initially published in January 2024, aimed to prevent contractors from considering a job applicant's compensation history and required them to disclose the salary for job positions linked to government contracts. The decision to withdraw is attributed to the limited time left in the current administration and the intent to focus on other priorities. The proposal was initially suggested to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in federal procurement.

    Simple Explanation

    The government decided not to use a new rule that would have made sure people get paid fairly and honestly when working with them. They stopped it because they want to focus on different things and don't have a lot of time left to make new rules.

  • 2021-00265 — Submission for OMB Review; Alternatives to Government-Unique Standards
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 1974
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Department of Defense (DOD), General Services Administration (GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have announced a request for public feedback on a proposed revision and extension of an information collection about alternatives to government-specific standards. This initiative, under the Paperwork Reduction Act, aims to gather data from offerors suggesting alternative standards to government-unique ones, to evaluate if these alternatives could meet the government's needs. Interested parties are invited to submit their comments by February 10, 2021, with specific instructions provided for the submission process. The document clarifies how this information will support Federal agencies in determining if voluntary consensus standards can be adopted in place of unique government standards.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to hear if there are easier ways to do things instead of using special rules only they understand, and they're asking people to tell them their ideas before February 10, 2021. But some people might find it a bit tricky to figure out how to share their thoughts and keep track of what's happening.

  • 2024-31403 — Federal Acquisition Regulation: Improving Consistency Between Procurement and Nonprocurement Procedures on Suspension and Debarment
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 507
    Reading Time:about 50 minutes

    The Department of Defense (DoD), General Services Administration (GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have finalized a rule to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). This rule aims to align the procedures for suspension and debarment in both procurement and nonprocurement activities, following suggestions from the Interagency Suspension and Debarment Committee. The changes seek to enhance transparency and consistency across government suspension and debarment procedures by integrating minor procedural clarifications and updates for better due process, particularly focusing on communication and decision-making processes. These modifications are intended to standardize practices and simplify the understanding of these processes for contractors working with the federal government.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is making rules easier to follow for businesses they work with, so everyone knows what's fair and clear. They're fixing how they tell people they can't work with them anymore if they don't follow the rules.
