What it doesSummary introduced in house (Aug 28, 2018)
This bill requires each executive agency to take into account the existence of qualified training programs of contractors. Specifically, a contracting officer, in evaluating offers for any contract in an amount greater than $25 million, must consider:
- the existence of a qualified training program of an offeror as a factor in the evaluation;
- an offeror that provides comprehensive training and education programs to develop its workforce, consistent with the agency's needs; and
- in assessing past performance, the manner in which an incumbent contractor is educating, investing, and retaining the contractor's workforce.
"Qualified training program" is defined as:
- a program eligible to receive funds under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act,
- a program eligible to receive funds under the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006,
- a program registered under the National Apprenticeship Act, or
- any other federal program determined by the agency to be a qualified training program.
Each agency shall develop workforce development investment incentives for contractors.
