Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The ACCESS Act amends federal contracting law to prohibit executive agencies from setting minimum education requirements for contractor personnel unless the contracting officer provides written justification explaining why the agency's needs cannot be met without such requirements. The bill requires the Office of Management and Budget to issue guidance within 180 days on how contracting officers should justify education requirements and consider alternatives such as industry certifications and apprenticeships. The bill also repeals a prior provision requiring education or experience qualifications and directs the Government Accountability Office to report on agency compliance within 36 months.
