An exemption may be granted upon application by an awarding authority, grant or financial assistance recipient, party to a cooperative agreement, or a construction manager acting for them, if the agency head finds that, as of the date of the original order, that party had already issued or was party to bid specifications, project agreements, or other controlling documents containing the requirements or prohibitions in question, and that one or more construction contracts under those terms had already been awarded. It applies to federal and federally funded or assisted construction projects.Read the full summaryShow less

It directs the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council to amend federal acquisition rules within 60 days to implement these requirements.
