SEC. 898. Competition for religious
services contracts. The Department of Defense may not preclude a non-profit organization from competing for a contract for religious related services on a United States military installation. |
Competition for religious services
contracts (sec. 898) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 829) that would ensure that non-profit organizations can compete for contracts for religious related services on a United States military installation. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Senate Report 114-49 to accompany S. 1376 as it was reported out of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Competition for religious services contracts (sec. 829) The committee recommends a provision to ensure that non- profit organizations can compete for contracts for religious related services on a United States military installation. It has come to the committee's attention that the Department of Defense has at times restricted competition for religious services contracts on U.S. military installations to for-profit firms. The committee believes certain non-profit entities such as religious organizations can provide valuable competition and are well-qualified to participate in this particular category of services and should not be precluded from competing for these types of contracts. |
