This resource center was created in response to a series of Executive Orders introduced by President Trump in 2025 and the overhaul of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) that will impact government contractors in terms of their compliance obligations, cost considerations, and enforcement risks. Here, you’ll find coverage of how these changes are reshaping the federal contracting landscape. Whether you’re navigating DEI limitations, workforce requirements, supply chain mandates, or funding restrictions, you’ll find practical insights to help your business stay compliant and competitive, as well as gain clarity on your rights, mitigate risks, and improve cost recovery.
