GSA Proposes Adding “Illegal DEI” Certifications to SAM.gov
Venable – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced its intent to change how financial assistance recipients certify compliance with new anti-discrimination requirements. This is in response to an executive order issued by President Trump to address “illegal DEI” programs. Individual federal agencies have begun incorporating certification requirements into grant programs, prompting a proposed revision to the “System for Award Management Registration Requirements for Financial Assistance Recipients.” To date, however, the federal government has not issued uniform certification language. That could soon change, according to GSA’s proposal to include such a certification in SAM.
