This legislation, known as the "No Preference Act" , seeks to amend federal contracting laws to prevent agencies from favoring unionized labor. It specifically prohibits the head of an executive agency from requiring or giving preference to an offeror based on whether they will use workers subject to a collective bargaining agreement. The bill further extends this prohibition to the Department of Defense, stipulating that the Secretary of Defense may not require or prefer contractors based on their use of union labor. By amending titles 41 and 10 of the United States Code, this Act aims to ensure that federal contracts are awarded solely on merit, without consideration of an offeror's labor organization status.
