Extension and expansion of authority
to acquire products and services produced in countries along a
major route of supply to Afghanistan (sec. 841)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 821) that would extend and expand authority for the Department of Defense to acquire supplies on a non-competitive basis in certain countries that are assisting the Department's efforts in Afghanistan. The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 866) that would extend the same authority. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would delete a limitation on the use of funds until the Government of Pakistan agrees to take certain steps, which have now taken place. |

SECTION 821--EXTENSION AND EXPANSION OF AUTHORITY TO ACQUIRE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES PRODUCED IN COUNTRIES ALONG A MAJOR ROUTE OF SUPPLY TO AFGHANISTAN This section would amend
section 801 of
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010
(Public Law 111-84) relating to temporary authority to acquire
products and services produced in countries along a major route
of supply to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. This section
would extend the authority through December 31, 2014. This
section would also expand the authority under section 801 to
acquire products or services to be used by U.S. and coalition
forces in Afghanistan, subject to a determination by the
Secretary of Defense that such products or services will be
acquired from a country that has agreed to allow the retrograde
of coalition personnel, equipment, and supplies from
Afghanistan. This section would prohibit the preferential
procurement of goods or services from the Islamic Republic of
Pakistan until such time as the Government of Pakistan re-opens
the ground lines of communication through Pakistan in support of
coalition operations in Afghanistan. Finally, this section would
repeal an expired reporting requirement. |
