This class deviation is applicable to:
This class deviation does not apply to:
Applicable contracting officers must use the clause located at Attachment A to carry out or support any new excepted activities until the contracting activity receives funding authority for Fiscal Year 2026.

In its role as landlord for the Federal Government, GSA oversees over 9,500 Federally owned or leased buildings. During a lapse in funding, GSA maintains responsibility for the protection of life and Federal property, including providing necessary support to other Federal agencies to enable them to perform exempt and excepted activities.
This class deviation is issued:
This deviation is effective immediately and remains in effect until rescinded or GSA receives funding authority for Fiscal Year 2026, at which time it is automatically rescinded.
