H. Rept. 115-676

Section 833--Limitation on Applicability to Department of Defense Commercial Contracts of Certain Provisions of Law and Certain Executive Orders and Regulations

This section would update section 2375, section 2533a, and section 2533b of title 10, United States Code, with the clarified definition of commercial products and commercial services. This section would also establish a new section 2375a to limit applicability of certain Executive orders and regulations.

The committee expects that these revisions would remove current obstacles from commercial transactions between the Department of Defense and commercial suppliers, and improve access to the best commercial goods and services.
