The article emphasizes the importance of clear communication between government contractors and their contracting officers amid increasing executive orders from the Trump administration. According to David Berteau, CEO of the Professional Services Council, the valid guidance impacting a federal contract solely originates from contracting officers. This is critical, especially when there are ambiguous executive orders or memos that create confusion about contract work, highlighting that only a formal stop-work order affects contracts under Federal Acquisition Regulations.
The only real guidance that can affect a federal contract comes from the contracting officer associated with it, Berteau told reporters.
Under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, the only guidance that can be issued to stop work is a written stop-work order issued by a cognizant contracting officer.
