On September 13, 2011, we told you about the Department of Labor’s (“DOL”) August 29, 2011 final rule implementing Executive Order 13495, Nondisplacement of Qualified Workers Under Service Contracts. According to Executive Order 13495, the Federal Government’s procurement interest in economy and efficiency are better served when a successor contractor who wins a follow-on contract for the same or similar services at the same location, hires the predecessor’s employees. The Government believes that using the carryover workforce reduces disruption to the delivery of services during the period of transition between contractors, and provides the Federal Government the benefits of an experienced and trained workforce that is familiar with the Federal Government’s personnel, facilities, and requirements.
