- Description
- On December 1, 2021, OMB issued initial guidance on implementing requirements of Executive Order 14042 while ensuring compliance with a court order covering the States of Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee. That guidance is hereby rescinded. Since the issuance of that initial guidance, another court has issued a nationwide injunction�an order that bars enforcement of the Executive Order in any state or outlying area of the United States. Both court orders are preliminary and may be supplemented, modified, or vacated, depending on the course of ongoing litigation. Given the uncertainty surrounding the court orders, OMB has formulated this updated guidance to be applicable even if the existing court orders change or new orders are issued. The Government will take no action to enforce the clause implementing requirements of Executive Order 14042, absent further written notice from the agency, where the place of performance identified in the contract is in a U.S. state or outlying area subject to a court order prohibiting the application of requirements pursuant to the Executive Order (hereinafter, �Excluded State or Outlying Area�). In all other circumstances, the Government will enforce the clause, except for contractor employees who perform substantial work on or in connection with a covered contract in an Excluded State or Outlying Area, or in a covered contractor workplace located in an Excluded State or Outlying Area. A current list of such Excluded States and Outlying Areas is maintained at https://www.saferfederalworkforce.gov/contractors/. Note: The court orders only apply to the application of requirements pursuant to Executive Order 14042. There is no change to the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force�s guidance for COVID-19 workplace safety protocols for Federal agencies. Federal agency workplace safety protocols for Federal buildings and Federally controlled facilities still apply in all locations. Contractor employees working onsite in those facilities must still follow those Federal agency workplace safety protocols. Any questions shall be directed to Jeff Schoerner, Jeffrey.a.schoerner.civ@army.mil. Jeff Schoerner Army Contracting Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Division D Branch Chief/Supervisory Contract Specialist
