Show full summary
- Special Government employees (SGEs) would be ineligible to receive federal awards such as contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or other contract-like instruments. SGEs who serve only as members of advisory committees are explicitly exempt from this ban.
- Covered third parties would also be barred from federal awards. That term includes a spouse, child, or general partner of an SGE, and any organization in which an SGE serves as an officer, director, trustee, general partner, or employee.
- Agencies must change procurement rules to implement this policy. The Federal Acquisition Regulation must be revised to reflect the prohibition within 60 days.
