Ensuring Accountability and Dignity in Government Contracting Act of 2025

This bill strengthens existing provisions to combat human trafficking in federal government contracts and grants by enhancing reporting requirements and expanding enforcement actions. It mandates that compliance plans be submitted at the time of certification and requires recipients of federal funds, their subcontractors, or agents to promptly report any determined trafficking activities to the relevant contracting officer, detailing the circumstances and remedial actions taken. Upon receiving such an incident report, the bill mandates that the Inspector General conduct an investigation , and expands enforcement options to include the suspension of payments until remedial actions are completed. The legislation also clarifies that if an investigation is not completed due to acknowledged activity and corrective action, the Inspector General must notify the relevant agency head and debarment official. Furthermore, it directs the Office of Management and Budget to report on the feasibility of requiring contracting officials to assess anti-trafficking plans in high-risk areas . This report will also examine streamlining federal reporting and tracking anti-trafficking acquisition training for personnel.
