EO 14275

Executive Order 14275, "Restoring Common Sense to Federal Procurement", signed April 15, 2025. The order initiates the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul, instructs the FAR Council to return the Federal Acquisition Regulation to its statutory roots by removing non-statutory policy and process, directs migration of buying strategies from the FAR into a separate Strategic Acquisition Guidance, and authorizes class deviations during the deviation phase so agencies can begin operating under the new framework before formal rulemaking concludes. EO 14275 is the legal predicate for what the procurement bar calls FAR 2.0.
