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 2025-01 amends the FAR as follows: Item I--Prohibition on Unmanned Aircraft Systems From Covered Foreign Entities (FAR Case 2024-002) This interim rule amends the FAR to implement a prohibition on procuring, operating, or using Federal funds on, unmanned aircraft systems (e.g., drones) that are manufactured or assembled by an American Security Drone Act-covered foreign entity. This rule implements the American Security Drone Act of 2023 (subtitle B, title XVIII of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024, Pub. L. 118-31, 41 U.S.C. 3901 note prec.). This rule applies to all solicitations and contracts, including contracts at or below the micro- purchase threshold and to contracts for commercial products (including commercially available off-the-shelf items) or for commercial services. The change is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This interim rule is being implemented as a national security measure to protect sensitive Government information and operations. Item II--Clarification of System for Award Management Preaward Registration Requirements (FAR Case 2023-018) This interim rule amends the FAR to clarify System for Award Management preaward registration requirements. Offerors are required to be registered at the time of proposal submission and at time of award, rather than continuously in between. This change is expected to have a positive impact on small businesses who have a minor lapse in registration. William F.
