To amend title 41, United States Code, to require the head of each executive agency to consider the existence of qualified training programs of contractors in the award of certain contracts.

Summary

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.
