TITLE VIII--ACQUISITION POLICY, ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT, AND RELATED MATTERS

Subtitle B — Amendments to General Contracting Authorities, Procedures, and Limitations

P. L. 115-

House Conference Report. 115-874

Section 2330a of title 10, United States Code, is amended in subsection (c)(1)—

(1) by inserting “and contracts closely associated with inherently governmental functions” after “staff augmentation contracts”; and

(2) by striking “Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics” each place it appears and inserting “Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment”.

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 825) that would amend section 2330a of title 10, United States Code, by changing the dollar threshold for data to be collected on each purchase of services by a military department or Defense Agency from $3.0 million to the simplified acquisition threshold. This section would also remove the specification of the four service acquisition portfolio groups to be included in such data collection. This section would also change the activities contained in an annual inventory prepared by the Secretary of Defense from those pursuant to staff augmentation contracts, to those pursuant to services contracts, and replace references to the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics with the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

The Senate recedes with an amendment that would replace references to the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics with the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment and amend section 2330a of title 10, United States Code, to add contracts closely associated with inherently governmental functions to the categories of data collection applicable to the Department of Defense for services contracts.
