     may be used to award a construction contract on behalf of the 
     Federal Government--
       (1) in any solicitation, bid specification, project 
     agreement, or other controlling document to require or 
     prohibit a bidder, offeror, contractor, or subcontractor to 
     enter into or adhere to an agreement with a labor 
     organization; or
       (2) to discriminate against or give preference to such a 
     bidder, offeror, contractor, or subcontractor based on their

       (b) Subsection (a) does not apply to any construction 
     contract awarded before the date of the enactment of this
