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

Subtitle B--Amendments to General Contracting Authorities, Procedures, and Limitations

P. L. 116-92

House Conference Report 116-333

Section 2304a(d)(3) of title 10, United States Code, is amended--

(1) in subparagraph (B), by redesignating clauses (i) and (ii) as subclauses (I) and (II), respectively;

(2) by redesignating subparagraphs (A), (B), (C), and (D) as clauses (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv), respectively;

(3) by striking ``No task or delivery order contract'' and inserting ``(A) Except as provided under subparagraph (B), no task or delivery order contract''; and

(4) by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:

``(B) A task or delivery order contract in an amount estimated to exceed $100,000,000 (including all options) may be awarded to a single source without the written determination otherwise required under subparagraph (A) if the head of the agency has made a written determination pursuant to section 2304(c) of this title that procedures other than competitive procedures may be used for the awarding of such contract.''.

The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 803) that would amend section 2304a(d)(3) of title 10, United States Code, to eliminate the requirement that single award task or delivery order contracts over $100.0 million receive additional approval when already authorized under one of the exceptions to full and open competition.

The House amendment contained no similar provision.

The House recedes.
