General Services Administration 

Acquisition Regulation; Removing 

Small Disadvantaged Business 

Program Requirements To Align With 

the FAR 

AGENCY: Office of Acquisition Policy, 

General Services Administration (GSA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The General Services 

Administration is issuing a final rule 

amending the General Services 

Administration Acquisition Regulation 

to remove Small Disadvantaged 

Business Program requirements 

references to align with the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation for consistency. 

DATES: Effective February 15, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 

subpart 19.12, Small Disadvantaged 

Business Participation Program, and all 

references to it, were removed from the 

FAR on October 14, 2014 (FAR Case 

2009–016, 79 FR 61746). This removal 

followed a Federal court ruling that 

declared 10 U.S.C. 2323 

unconstitutional. FAR subpart 19.12 

derived its authority solely from 10 

U.S.C. 2323, thus necessitating its 

removal. While removal from the FAR 

was made, no conforming changes were 

made to the General Services 

Administration Acquisition Regulation 

(GSAR). Upon routine regulatory review 

of the GSAR, this discrepancy was 

observed and removal was determined 

necessary. This final rule aligns the 

GSAR with the FAR. 

To summarize, GSAR subpart 519.12 

is removed and reserved for future use. 

All mentions of GSAR subpart 519.12 

are also removed, as well as 

corresponding mentions to FAR subpart 

19.12 and corresponding clauses, which 

have been removed from the FAR. 

Changes made are as follows:
