Coverage of "New Contracts" If the contract was awarded on or between January 1, 2015 and January 29, 2022, and the contract is not renewed or extended on or after January 30, 2022, Executive Order 13658 generally applies to the contract. Coverage is not triggered by the unilateral exercise of a pre-negotiated option to renew or extend an existing contract by the Federal Government. If the contract is entered into on or after January 30, 2022, or the contract is renewed or extended (pursuant to an exercised option or otherwise) on or after January 30, 2022, Executive Order 14026 generally applies to the contract.

Coverage of Recreational Service Contracts on Federal Lands Executive Order 13838 exempted contracts in connection with seasonal recreational services and seasonal recreational equipment rental offered for public use on Federal lands from coverage of Executive Order 13658. Executive Order 13838 is rescinded as of January 30, 2022, and such contracts will therefore generally be covered by either Executive Order 13658 or Executive Order 14026 depending on the date that the relevant contract was entered into, renewed, or extended (as well as appropriate implementing actions taken by the relevant contracting agency). As of January 30, 2022, such contracts will be subject to the minimum wage requirements of either Executive Order 13658 or Executive Order 14026 depending on the date that the relevant contract was entered into, renewed, or extended (as well as appropriate implementing actions taken by the relevant contracting agency).
