Plain-English summary
Prohibits a Federal agency from procuring by contract any services performed by Federal employees in the competitive service positions of guards, elevator operators, messengers, and custodians if such procurement would: (1) cause the separation of a preference eligible from any such position; or (2) preclude the performance of any such service by a qualified preference eligible. Allows such procurement when: (1) qualified preference eligibles are not available; or (2) the position is held by an employee other than a preference eligible on the date that the contract is entered into.
