Senate Report 108-260 |
|
| The committee recommends a provision that would: (1) raise from $50.0 million to $75.0 million the threshold in section 2304(f)(1)(B)(iii), title 10, United States Code, for requiring approval of the senior procurement executive of an agency to award contracts under other than competitive procedures; and (2) increase from $500,000 to $1.0 million the threshold in section 2416(d), title 10, United States Code, at which contractors must provide to cooperative agreement holders a listing of the names and contact information of each contractor employee who has authority to enter into contracts, including subcontracts. The new thresholds are designed to ease administrative burdens, while adjusting the originally enacted thresholds for inflation. | |
