It really defies logic. The “task force” is specific to federal blackholes listed below- however they also Blanketed “contractors” into this bs which means if your company does business and has fed contracts, they expect you fo follow along without the benefits provided by a cushy gov job just follow the mandate. From the safer fed worker tf website:
The Safer Federal Workforce Task Force is led by the White House COVID-19 Response Team, the General Services Administration (GSA), and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Task Force members include: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Federal Protective Service (FPS), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and the United States Secret Service (USSS).
