The National and International "Credibility Score."

If financial institutions can place 'Credit Scores' on consumers regardless the country then we can do the same thing.

For every contractor that ever enters into government contracts there needs to be a 'Credibility Score' that is recognized as the ability of such entities to actually achieve their goals within the definitions of the contract.

There is no reason why within the USA, the Government Accounting Office is NOT scoring all the companies that does work for the people of this country. I would imagine a State Level accountability initiative is possible as well.

The Credibility Score would measure the quality of materials, the quality of the workman, the outcome of the product and the extent 'the goal' of the contract was met to increase the infrastructure or services to citizens.

Not difficult and the USA GAO can even provide ways for contractors to improve their scores. Any contractor that has caused injury, death or environmental deterioration can immediately be relieved and removed from any future government opportunities.

THAT is Constitutional. Anything short of it, is NOT !

In the case of an International Credibility Score, in countries where there is impoverishment there needs to be included for those contractors in particular, an 'apprentice' and 'journeyman/woman' component of the 'visited' country's citizens. The purpose is to improve the infrastructure of the country over time as a measure of good will and diplomacy. The citizens have to be proven to be from within the country or returning to the country with a measurable amount of improvement in their personal circumstances. It also upholds the integrity of the sovereignty of the 'visited' country.
