Acquisition officials at all federal agencies who are involved with managing the supply chain for information and communications technology programs would be required to attend that training. The bill also would require OMB to report to the Congress on the implementation of that training program. CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost $27 million over the 2020-2024 period (see Table 1); that spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. The Department of Defense (DoD) has about 150,000 employees in its acquisition workforce and DoD's contracts account for about 60 percent of all federal contracts. On that basis, CBO estimates that the acquisition workforce of the federal government totals about 250,000 people. CBO expects that 10 percent of them would require training every two years under the bill and that training for the first group of employees would begin in 2021. Using information on the costs of other federal training programs, CBO estimates that delivering that training to an average of 12,500 individuals each year would cost $10 million over the 2020-2024 period. CBO expects that some of the information provided in that training would be classified; thus, trainees would be required to hold security clearances.
