This document is a USDA mandatory training requirements directive for contractor employees on federal service contracts.

Contractors must ensure all employees, including subcontractor personnel, complete six mandatory training courses annually when they have routine physical or network access to USDA facilities or systems. The contractor is responsible for maintaining completion records and providing documentation to the Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer Representative upon request. The required courses are: Understanding and Interacting Unconscious Bias (90 minutes, completion required within 90 days of assignment), Anti-Harassment Training: Identifying and Preventing Workplace Harassment (60 minutes, completion required within 90 days of assignment), Information Security Awareness (60 minutes, completion required within one year of last completion), USDA Records Management (60 minutes, completion required within 60 days of assignment, available via AgLearn or paper-based), and Section 508 (60 minutes, completion required within 45 days of assignment). All courses except USDA Records Management are delivered through AgLearn. The Contracting Officer may approve additional courses as needed. These training requirements apply to all contractor and subcontractor employees and must be included in all service contracts where contractor employees have routine physical or network access, effective November 1, 2023.
