Interesting idea. Government contracts are notoriously complex, which can work for you or against. This takes the vaccine mandates and moves them into the realm of contact law. For new work the govt can simply require the vaccine in the contact. But for existing contacts it might well hold up and push off compliance for a year or two.

Great.

Don't get too excited, its just contractual.

“Importantly, with respect to Ingalls Shipbuilding and Newport News Shipbuilding, our customer has confirmed that our contracts do not include a requirement to implement the mandate,” Petters said in the Nov. 16 memo, adding the exemption applies only in part to its technology-focused business segment. “In light of this development, we are hereby suspending the deadline for vaccination, except where specific Technical Solutions contracts require it.”

...

When Biden issued the mandate for large employers and contractors in September, the company first urged employees to get vaccinated and later said vaccination would be a condition of their employment. When Petters informed workers he is suspending the mandate, he left open the possibility the situation could change again.

“We are monitoring the fluid situation closely with our shipyard customers, and if the mandate becomes a contractual requirement, we will proceed accordingly,” Petters said, adding the company continues to encourage all employees to get vaccinated.

They will still enforce it if their contract requires it.
