The General Services Administration generally may not contract out guard, elevator, messenger, or custodial services if doing so would terminate a permanent veterans-preference employee who held that status on November 19, 1995. It may use a sheltered workshop, or a competitive contract for up to five years if sheltered workshops decline.
(a) Definitions. (1) “Covered services” means guard, elevator-operator, messenger, or custodial services. This section does not define those component terms. (2) “Sheltered workshop” means a sheltered workshop employing the severely handicapped under chapter 85 of title 41.
(b) Except as subsection (c) provides, money made available to the General Services Administration under section 592 may not be obligated or spent to contract for covered services if the contract would terminate a permanent veterans-preference employee who had that status in the Administration on November 19, 1995.
(c) The money may be used to contract for covered services with a sheltered workshop. If sheltered workshops decline, the Administration may use a competitive contract for no more than five years. When that contract expires or ends for any reason, the Administration must again offer the work to a sheltered workshop before using a competitive contract.
In this section, the following definitions apply:
The term “covered services” means any guard, elevator operator, messenger, or custodial services.
The term “sheltered workshop” means a sheltered workshop employing the severely handicapped under chapter 85 of title 41.
Except as provided in subsection (c), amounts made available to the General Services Administration pursuant to section 592 of this title may not be obligated or expended to procure covered services by contract if an employee who was a permanent veterans preference employee of the Administration on November 19, 1995, would be terminated as a result.
Amounts made available to the Administration pursuant to section 592 of this title may be obligated and expended to procure covered services by contract with a sheltered workshop or, if sheltered workshops decline to contract for the provision of covered services, by competitive contract for a period of no longer than 5 years. When a competitive contract expires, or is terminated for any reason, the Administration shall again offer to procure the covered services by contract with a sheltered workshop before procuring the covered services by competitive contract.
