TITLE XXVIII--MILITARY CONSTRUCTION GENERAL PROVISIONS

Subtitle A--Military Construction Program and Military Family Housing Changes

P. L. 112-81

House Conference Report 112-329

Section 2852 of title 10, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:

`(c) In the case of a military construction project or a military family housing project, the contract amount thresholds specified in subchapter III of chapter 31 of title 40 (commonly referred to as the Miller Act) shall be applied by substituting `$150,000' for `$100,000' for purposes of determining when a performance bond and payment bond are required under section 3131 of such title and when alternatives to payment bonds as payment protections for suppliers of labor and materials are required under section 3132 of such title.'.

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2804) increasing the dollar threshold for purposes of determining when a performance bond and payment bond are required under section 3131 of subchapter III of chapter 31 of title 40, United States Code, (commonly referred to as the Miller Act).

The Senate amendment did not contain a similar provision.

The Senate recedes.

House Report 112-078

This section would amend section 2852 of title 10, United States Code, and increase the performance and payment threshold requirements for construction contracts from $100,000 to $150,000. This change would align performance and payment bonding requirements with the recently revised simplified acquisition threshold.
