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.
