New Compliance Requirement
What EO 14398 Means for Your Next Federal Contract
On March 26, 2026, the Administration signed Executive Order 14398, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, which requires the inclusion of a new contract clause in all federal contracts, subcontracts and “contract-like instruments” prohibiting contractors from engaging in “racially discriminatory DEI activities.” The new contract clause will create new obligations and require new company certifications for contractors at all levels.

-
What the new Executive Order says and who it applies to
-
The enforcement picture - what penalties and liability look like
-
What your organization should do before the next contract is issued
