In Sec. 6(b) it states, "The Secretary shall, in consultation with the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council, issue regulations, within 180 days of the date of this order, to the extent permitted by law, to implement the requirements of this order. The Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council shall issue, within 180 days of the date of this order, to the extent permitted by law, regulations in the Federal Acquisition Regulation to provide for inclusion of the contract clause in Federal solicitations and contracts subject to this order." Does this have any bearing on the contractor bidder if the bid was made within the 180 days? I'm an employee at a military medical facility, and the oncoming new contractor states that they do not fall under this order because it was within the 180 days.
