Gov Contract Pros (GCP) opposes the proposed "Revolutionary FAR Overhaul" (RFO), arguing that the model deviations are illegitimate, violate the Administrative Procedures Act, and create significant confusion and regulatory red tape. They specifically advocate for the rescission of the model deviations and express concern over the negative impacts on small businesses and the lack of a meaningful Regulatory Impact Analysis.

The U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce (USWCC) argues that the proposed rules would remove essential machinery for the Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contract Program, which remains necessary to address documented underutilization of women-owned firms. They request that the agency retain these provisions and conduct a supplemental regulatory flexibility analysis specifically examining the impact on women-owned small businesses.

They recommend specific revisions to ensure enforceable outreach, clear 8(a) sole-source exemptions, and consistent tax-exclusive solicitation requirements.
