Extension of authority for use of
simplified acquisition procedures for certain commercial items
(sec. 822) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 812) that would extend the authority for use of simplified acquisition procedures for certain commercial items to January 1, 2015. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees direct the Comptroller General to report to the congressional defense committees, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform by October 1, 2013, on the use of this authority. The Comptroller General's report should address, at a minimum: (1) the extent of use of the authority; (2) the cited rationales for use of the authority; (3) the acquisition outcomes that have resulted; and (4) any waste, fraud, or abuse that have resulted from the use of the authority. |
