Posted May 15, 200915 yr comment_1406 When I first read this, the below quoted section leads me to believe that the FAR Council will decide the parameters of this Order (e.g. only for contracts over X dollars). Has anyone heard any updates on this? June 8th would be the 150 day mark. http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office...nt_contracting/ Sec. 5. Within 150 days of the effective date of this order, the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council (FAR Council) shall adopt such rules and regulations and issue such orders as are deemed necessary and appropriate to carry out this order. Such rules, regulations, and orders shall minimize the costs of compliance for contractors and shall not interfere with the ability of contractors to engage in advocacy through activities for which they do not claim reimbursement.
May 15, 200915 yr comment_1408 The order was dated January 30. I believe that 150 days will be June 29.
May 15, 200915 yr Author comment_1411 I just noticed the "Proposed Law & Regulations; Legal Decisions". I wonder if the mods can move this topic there.
