Summaries for each FAR rule

For the actual revisions and/or amendments made by

these FAR rules, refer to the specific item numbers and
subjects set forth in the documents following these item
summaries.

FAC 2025-02 amends the FAR as follows:

Item I—Training to Prevent Human Trafficking For Certain
Air Carriers (FAR Case 2019-017)
This final rule amends the FAR to implement section
111 of the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims
Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2018 (Pub.
L. 115-425), enacted January 8, 2019. Section 111 requires
that domestic carriers who contract with the Federal
Government to provide air transportation submit an annual
report with certain information related to prevention of
human trafficking to the Administrator of General Services,
the Secretary of Transportation, the Secretary of Labor,
the Administrator of the Transportation Security

Administration, and the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and
Border Protection. Section 111 does not apply to contracts
awarded by the Department of Defense.
This rule creates a new contract clause at FAR 52.24769, Reporting Requirement for U.S.-Flag Air Carriers
Regarding Training to Prevent Human Trafficking, to
implement the statutory reporting requirement. Contracting
officers will include this clause in solicitations and
contracts for the transportation by air of passengers. The
reporting requirement applies to U.S.-flag air carriers,
including small business air carriers. The final rule is
not expected to have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities within the meaning of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Item II—Certification of Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned
Small Businesses (FAR case 2022-009)
This FAR rule adopts, without change, an interim rule
that amended the FAR to implement the Governmentwide
certification requirement for service-disabled veteranowned small business (SDVOSB) concerns seeking sole-source
and set-aside awards under the SDVOSB Program. Effective
January 1, 2024, an SDVOSB concern must have either been
certified by the Small Business Administration (SBA), or
have both submitted an application for certification to SBA
on or before December 31, 2023, and represented that it is
an SDVOSB in the System for Award Management (SAM), in

order to be eligible for sole-source or set-aside awards
under the SDVOSB Program.

This rule required that an

SDVOSB concern update its status in SAM no later than two
days after the date of a final determination that the
concern does not meet the requirements of the status the
concern claims to hold. This rule also provided new SDVOSB
protest and appeal procedures.
Item III—Technical Amendments
Administrative changes are made at FAR 13.302-5,
25.101, 36.603, 49.601-2, 52.204-2, 52.204-7, 52.204-8,
52.204-19, 52.212-5, 52.225-3, 52.225-4, and 52.225-18.
