Member Briefing on Fixed Price Contract Executive Order

Member Briefing on Fixed Price Contract Executive Order

MEETING DESCRIPTION
Available exclusively for members, PSC’s Member Briefing is an in-depth presentation by PSC executive staff on agency and market-specific drivers relevant to your business. If you are not a PSC member and would like to discuss membership, please email membership@pscouncil.org.

This update will focus on Executive Order 14402, "Promoting Efficiency, Accountability, and Performance in Federal Contracting" (signed April 30, 2026) and its implications for the government contracting community. This EO:

  • Directs departments and agencies to use fixed-price (FP) contracts, defined in Part 16 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), as the default;
  • Requires agency heads to provide semi-annual reports to OMB on the use of non-fixed price contracts, reflecting other actions required by this EO (e.g., written justification by (1) the contractor officer for use of any non-FP contracts and/or (2) the agency head or designee for non-FP contracts that exceed certain thresholds);
  • Requires agency heads to review the 10 largest non-fixed-price contracts by dollar value and make modifications, as necessary;
  • Directs OMB officials to promulgate guidance, recommend FAR changes, and develop training in support of this initiative.
