Amendments to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) aimed at eliminating substandard labor conditions within government contractors’ supply chains went into effect on March 2, 2015. Under the amended regulations, new solicitations will impose requirements on all government contractors and subcontractors as part of an effort to curb human trafficking. Contractors that provide supplies acquired abroad or perform services outside the United States are subject to additional requirements, including implementing compliance plans and completing compliance certification. For all contractors, noncompliance with the new regulations could result in financial penalties, termination for default, or suspension or debarment.
