bob7947 Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 H. R. 7776 - Water Resources Development Act of 2022 Now it is labeled H. R. 7776 the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 The first bill was for something other than an NDAA. Apparently, H. R. 7776 was highjacked and is planned to be the NDAA for FY 2023. The Chairmen and Ranking Members from the House and Senate Armed Services Committees grabbed H.R. 7900 and S. 4543--two versions of an NDAA--squished them together, hijacked H. R. 7776, amended that bill, and renamed it as the one above. When time is available, conferees are named and they negotiate a conference report and both Houses of Congress vote on it, approve the conference report and send it the White House for signature to make the finished bill a Public Law. H. R. 7776, the agreement between the Chairmen and Ranking Members will probably be substituted for negotiations between conferees of both houses and H. R. 7776 will be passed by both houses. Then off to the White House. There are plenty of perfections to contracting law in Title VIII but H. R. 7776 needs to be passed in about 2 weeks without running into any obstacles. It probably won't get derailed, but I think it's too early to look at any of the bill's provisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob7947 Posted December 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 House Passes National Defense Authorization Act on 12/8/22. One down, one to go. The Library of Congress cannot even keep of with the paperwork. Let's see if the Senate can pass H. R. 7776 today. I just finished checking and the Senate is not scheduled to be back until 12/12/22.

Sounds like a strong lobbying effort from industry that wasn’t checked out further from the government side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something must have gotten changed/cleaned up. This is from a summary that Crowell and Morning did: Section 805 provides that unilateral modification of an existing contract, order, or other transaction that implements the requirements of an Executive Order (EO) issued by the President shall be treated as a change under the Changes Clause (FAR 52.243-1, -2, -3, -4, -5, or -6, as appropriate).

I checked two sources showing the text of the NDAA and they both show that 805 specifically references only 52.243-4. Maybe I am off, but that is what I am finding.
