The Office of Management and Budget has issued a memo
instructing agencies holding certain kinds of contracts
to deposit fees into the acquisition workforce training
fund, designed to augment agency training and education
funds for the development of the acquisition workforce
“Executive agencies are required to deposit fees
generated by government-wide contracts to the AWTF
account. The fund will be credited with five percent of
the fees collected by non-DoD executive agencies under
the following contracts: government-wide task and
delivery-order contracts entered into under sections
303H and 303I of the Federal Property and Administrative
Services Act of 1949; government-wide contracts for the
acquisition of information technology as defined in
section 11101 of title 40, U.S.C., and multi-agency
acquisition contracts for such technology authorized by
section 11314; and, multiple-award schedule contracts
entered into by the Administrator of General Services,”
said the memo.
It said the AWTF was established under the Services
Acquisition Reform Act of 2003, Title XIV, Section 1412
of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal
2004 -P.L. 108-136.
The General Services Administration will manage the fund
through the Federal Acquisition Institute to ensure the
civilian workforce is sufficiently trained to acquire
property and services, according to OMB.
GSA will send payment instructions for crediting the fund
to all civilian agency heads. For information about these
instructions contact Bill Wilson at GSA on (202) 208-6925,
or Lesley Field at the Office of Federal Procurement
Policy at (202) 395-4761.
