Promoting Efficiency, Accountability, and Performance in Federal Contracting
This executive order mandates that federal agencies default to using fixed-price contracts for procurement, shifting away from cost-reimbursement models. It requires written justification and senior-level approval for any non-fixed-price contract over certain dollar thresholds (e.g., $10M for most agencies, $100M for the Department of War), and directs agencies to review and renegotiate their 10 largest non-fixed-price contracts within 90 days. The order also tasks OMB with implementation guidance and the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council with proposing regulatory amendments within 120 days.
