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

Subtitle H—Other Matters

P. L. 116-92

House Conference Report 116-333

Not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the United States shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report on the use of contractors to perform work supporting contingency operations, including the logistical support for such operations, since January 1, 2009. Such
report shall include--

(1) an evaluation of the nature and extent to which the Department of Defense has used contractors to perform such work, including the type of operation or exercise, the functions performed by a contractor, the place of performance, and contract obligations;

(2) an evaluation of the processes for tracking and reporting on the use of such contractors;

(3) an evaluation of the extent to which recommendations made by the Wartime Contracting Commission established in section 841 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181; 122 Stat. 230) have been implemented in policy, guidance, education and training, as appropriate; and

(4) any other issues the Comptroller General determines to be appropriate.

The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899G) that would reauthorize the Commission on Wartime Contracting established under Section 841 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181; 122 Stat. 230) and amend the Commission's duties to include studying federal agency contracting funded by overseas contingency operations funds.

The Senate bill contained no similar provision.

The Senate recedes with an amendment that would direct the Comptroller General of the United States to report on the implementation of the recommendations made by the Commission and the use of contractors to perform work supporting contingency operations since January 1, 2009, and not include the reauthorization of the Commission on Wartime Contracting.
