CHANTILLY, Va. — The New Horizons Foundation — A Sheet Metal Industry Initiative has joined with the Electrical Contracting Foundation to fund a project focused on securing data on direct purchasing of materials and labor-only contracts.
The leadership of both foundations states that there is currently no comprehensive database that defines the impact of various procurement strategies. The New Horizons board authorized a financial investment in a research project addressing this need and will participate in a contractor-led task force to oversee and guide the project.
