Promoting Efficiency, Accountability, and Performance in Federal Contracting

THE BRIEF · AI

This order requires federal agencies to default to fixed-price contracts instead of cost-reimbursement contracts to control spending and boost contractor accountability.

Key provisions

  • Agencies must use fixed-price contracts unless a written justification is approved by the agency head
  • Non-fixed-price contracts above set dollar thresholds need senior agency approval, with exceptions for emergencies and R&D
  • Agencies must review and try to renegotiate their 10 largest non-fixed-price contracts within 90 days
