The Department of Defense, General Services Administration, and NASA have issued a Small Entity Compliance Guide as part of Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2025-02. This guide summarizes important changes to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) regarding various rules, including mandatory human trafficking prevention training for air carriers contracted by the federal government and certification requirements for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Additionally, the document includes technical amendments to multiple FAR sections. These changes are meant to ensure compliance with federal acquisition policies and regulations.
Simple Explanation
The rules say that people who fly planes for the government need to learn how to stop bad things like human trafficking, but it doesn't say what happens if they don't. There's also a new rule that some small businesses need special papers to show they are owned by veterans who got hurt, but the rules are hard to understand.
