Advancing Economy, Efficiency, and Effectiveness in Federal Contracting by Promoting Pay Equity and Transparency

This executive order directs the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council to consider issuing proposed rules that would limit or prohibit federal contractors from using job applicants' salary history in employment decisions, aiming to promote pay equity and transparency in federal procurement. It parallels anticipated OPM rules for federal employees and requires consideration of accountability measures for contractors and subcontractors.
