Protection of task order competition
(sec. 835)
The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 819) that would amend section 2304c(e) of title 10, United States Code, that would prohibit task and delivery order protests if the Secretary of Defense has appointed an ombudsman in accordance with section 2304c(f) of title 10, United States Code, to review complaints related to task and delivery order contracts. The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 1862) that would amend section 4106(f) of title 41, United States Code, to maintain a consistent approach to task-order protests between civilian and defense agencies. The House recedes with an amendment that would permanently authorize protests of task and delivery orders with values exceeding $10.0 million at civilian agencies. For protests of task and delivery orders of the Department of Defense, the amendment modifies section 2304c(e)(1)(B) of title 10, United States Code, to increase the minimum value of a task or delivery order that may be protested from $10.0 million to $25.0 million. |
