TITLE VIII--ACQUISITION POLICY, ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT, AND RELATED MATTERS

Subtitle G—Other Matters

P. L. 114-

House Conference Report. 114-270

The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 830) that would clarify that the requirements under chapter 148 of title 10, United States Code would not apply to a contract executed by the Department of Defense where the Department is acting as an intermediary for the General Services Administration (GSA) for purchase of products by other federal agencies or state and local governments.

The House recedes.

The conferees note that the chapter 148 process of obtaining a domestic non-availability determination of certain products, such as fire hoses, could have a significant effect on the ability of Federal agencies to respond to natural disasters or other emergencies.

Senate Report 114-49 to accompany S. 1376 as it was reported out of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Treatment of interagency and state and local purchases when the Department of Defense acts as contract intermediary for the General Services Administration (sec. 830)

The committee recommends a provision that would clarify that the requirements under chapter 148 of title 10, United States Code would not apply to a contract executed by the Department of Defense where the Department is acting as an intermediary for the General Services Administration (GSA) for purchase of products by other federal agencies or state and local governments. This could be as a result of a transfer of contract responsibility from GSA or where the Department serves as an item manager for these products on behalf of GSA.
