## Summary

**Data-driven oversight and stricter accountability for contract security at federal buildings.** The POST Act of 2025 would direct the Federal Protective Service (FPS) to build uniform covert-testing systems, strengthen performance management for contract guards, modernize personnel tracking, and report progress to Congress. - Contract security personnel would face regular covert testing and, if they fail, mandatory cause-specific corrective training and a required performance-improvement plan the contractor must implement and let FPS review. - Federal building tenants would get timely notifications about staffing shortages, absences, or coverage gaps through new communication procedures. - The Federal Protective Service would set standards for covert-test data, run quarterly analyses to spot trends and vulnerabilities, and update training guidance based on findings. FPS would also evaluate its personnel tracking system and decide within 180 days whether to replace it or fix it, with a published implementation timeline. - FPS would provide an initial report on these changes and then annual updates to the specified congressional committees with challenges and recommendations.

- Contract guards remain contractor employees: mixed, low. This bill would say that a contractor employee who protects Federal property is not a Federal employee under 40 U.S.C. 1315. This keeps contractor staff as private employees for purposes of this Act and would not create federal employee status or associated rights.
