[Guest Vern Edwards]

Rep. Darrell Issa wants to authorize a new method of source selection: "Fixed Price Technical Competition." See HR 1232, Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act, section 503.

For a memo to Congress explaining the concept, go to: http://oversight.hou...ionsSummary.pdf See pages 6 - 8.

Think before you say it's a good idea.
