senate 01/13/2025 - 119th Congress
We are aiming to make contractor opportunities more inclusive by proposing the ACCESS Act, which seeks to eliminate mandatory minimum educational requirements in certain federal contract solicitations. This change will allow skilled professionals, regardless of formal education, to compete fairly for contracts, fostering a more diverse and capable workforce.
