Action Moves to Senate
This week, the House approved several 黑料不打烊-supported procurement reform measures included in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2015, H.R. 4435. The measures would help:
- Prohibit reverse auctions for construction services;
- Limit the second-step shortlist for design-build procurements to three to five finalists;
- Promote greater accuracy, transparency and accountability in the reporting of contract bundling and consolidation;
- Enable more small businesses to apply for and receive loans through the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA); and
- Prevent fraud by providing financial certainty to assets that support individual surety.
