H.R. 5235

Bars education requirements in federal contract bids

Federal contract solicitations could no longer set minimum education levels for contractor staff unless a contracting officer explains why the requirement is needed.

  • Covers requirements met by education alone, or by education or experience
  • Contracting officers must justify any education requirement they keep
  • The Office of Management and Budget would tell agencies how to use alternatives to education requirements
