This week’s reading highlights President Trump's executive order titled "Restoring Common Sense to Federal Procurement," aiming to modernize federal purchasing processes for the first time in over four decades.

The mandate provides a 180-day window to streamline the 2,000-page Federal Acquisition Regulation governing government procurement.
The adjustment forms part of a broader initiative to reduce bureaucratic constraints, following an earlier directive focused on deregulation.
Under the revised approach, only legally required or essential rules for efficient procurement will remain, with any non-essential guidelines set to expire after four years unless renewed.
Businesses supplying the government, particularly those offering standard commercial goods, can anticipate fewer bureaucratic obstacles, with the reform simplifying competition for new entrants.
This shift in procurement policy aligns with other recent measures curtailing diversity mandates, halting increases to contractor wages, and eliminating certain climate-related rules—all designed to enhance operational efficiency in federal
contracting.
