Skills-Based Federal Contracting Act of 2025

This bill stops federal agencies from requiring contractors to have certain education levels when bidding for government contracts, unless the contracting officer can explain why the education requirement is necessary. The rule applies to any education requirements, whether they can be met through schooling alone, work experience alone, or a mix of both. The Office of Management and Budget must create guidance for federal agencies on how to follow this new rule and encourage them to use alternatives to education requirements.
