I work for a federal project as contractor.
I worked through vendor "A" for sometime. Can I join the same project through vendor "B"?
I heard Obama signed an executive order regarding non-competitive agreement. As per that law, vendor "A" cannot stop or sue me if I work through vendor "B". Is that right?

Have you signed a non-compete agreement with your employer?

Even if there are any non-compete agreement with my employer, does it have any effect?

When I was a contractor, it used to. The only way we could go work for the "other" company on the same project, was to have both companies agree to it.

The best thing to do is ask your government customer, the sponsor. If they like you and want to keep you, they will tell you if this can be done. If they don't like you, this will be a good time to get rid of you.

It depends on the contract and the contractor. At Booz Allen, it was common for us to "re badge" contractors working for another company, after that company had lost the contract and BAH had won. There are a lot of variables at play in a situation like this, and I'm not sure we have enough information.

I might also be wary of discussing this with your client (the government). They don't want to do anything improper, either.

YMMV in this instance. I am not familiar with any FAR prohibition. For years my Agency IT Office would not allow contractors to switch to other companies. Back then (8+ yrs ago), there was an informal honor system in place. Then it happened and it snowballed. Now it happens all the time. The primary factor is the amount of time acquiring resources for positions that require a Background Investigation or Security Clearance. In my Agency, if a contractor leaves and is gone longer than 6 months, a full BI is required.
