Louisiana Order: Enjoins all aspects of the Task Force Guidance (the vaccine mandate and masking or physical distancing) in contracts between Louisiana, Mississippi, or Indiana (or their agencies) and the U.S. Government. Note: this Order applies only to the States themselves, and expressly does not reach private contractors.
“[I]t is ORDERED that the Motion for Preliminary Injunction, Doc. 22, is GRANTED to enjoin the national government from enforcing the Task Force Guidance and FAR Memo in any contract, grant, or any other like agreement by any other name, whether for services or product and whether existing or new, between the Plaintiff States or their agencies and the national government.” (emphasis ours)
This means that contractors are left with pieces of a very jumbled-up puzzle. To help visualize this jumbled-up puzzle, we created a jumbled up-map. But at least it has colors.

Interestingly, though the masking/distancing requirements of EO 14042 may not technically be prohibited in certain states, they are tied to the current CDC Guidelines. On February 25, the CDC loosened the applicable masking/distancing requirements (depending on transmission rates in each locality). Therefore, although the masking/distancing requirement of EO 14042 may still apply, the CDC may not actually require masking/distancing at your office.
