On April 15, 2025, the Trump Administration issued an Executive Order titled “Restoring Common Sense to Federal Procurement” that seeks to reform the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) and agency-specific supplements to contain only those “provisions required by statute or essential to sound procurement.” Along with a supplemental fact sheet, the Executive Order states that “any FAR provisions that do not advance these objectives should be removed.” This overhaul of the FAR has been widely anticipated during the first few months of the Trump Administration, although its implementation is expected to be a multi-year process.
