This section would prohibit contractor performance of security guard functions, awarded under authority of section 332 of the Bob Stump National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-31), to be in effect after September 30, 2006. To fill a requirement for security guard functions, as authorized under section 332, the Secretary of Defense and the secretaries of the military departments must conduct new full and open competitions pursuant to section 2304 of title 10, United States Code. In conducting these new competitions the authority in section 602 of the Business Opportunity Development Reform Act of 1988 (Public Law 100-656) would not apply. New contracts could be in effect until the end of fiscal year 2008.
