I'm pretty sure they have to pass the test if they will be directly working on the federal contractually funded projects. I just remember having to sign a bunch of shit when I was working on gov contracts basically saying that you are receiving gov funds, and are required by law to pass the drug test. I had to sign all that shit just to acknowledge that I understand that I will be drug tested, and why.
I could be wrong though, it has been a few years
Edit:
In 1986, Reagan made it mandatory for all federal employees to Just say no. The Drug Free Workplace Act followed in 1988. This made drug tests a requirement for any company that contracted more than $25,000 worth of business with the federal government.
I think that is accurate. I just got a job with the federal government and I had to pass a drug test and sign a document that said I wasn't addicted to marijuana or LSD, which i found odd because I don't recall the document mentioning heroin, cocaine, meth, or pharmaceuticals. Do people still do LSD?
An important distinction is that I won't be subject to random tests like my former employer requires. Who the fuck do they think they are?
