GSA Class Deviation Takes Aim at Commercial Terms
Client Alert | 1 min read | 08.26.15
As reported by the Coalition of Government Procurement, GSA recently released a final version of the class deviation it previewed in March that purports to eliminate commercial terms that are inconsistent with federal law. Among other changes, the deviation (1) revises the order of precedence to give solicitation provisions precedence over commercial provisions; (2) rewrites commercial supplier agreement dispute resolution, automatic renewal, and audit right provisions; and (3) places limits on the use and applicability of click-wrap and other comparable commercial contract execution mechanisms.

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has proposed another revision to independent contractor regulations, one that would provide for more leeway in classifying workers as contractors. DOL’s proposed rule, published on February 26, 2026, would rescind the Biden DOL’s March 2024 independent contractor regulation and reinstate a framework substantially tracking the prior Trump rule of January 2021. The proposed rule would also apply the narrower analysis to worker classifications under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA). The comment period closes in late April 2026; until then, the 2024 rule remains in effect for purposes of private litigation.
