FY 2021 NDAA Section 822
FY 2021 NDAA Section 822
Summary
Conference report language for Section 833 of the FY21 NDAA (the frontmatter labels it Section 822) addressing lists of other transaction authority consortia. It notes the Senate provision would have required DoD to publish on Beta.SAM.gov a list of consortia used for OT awards, records the House receding with a technical amendment, and directs the Comptroller General (GAO) to report to the congressional defense committees by December 1, 2021 on the nature and extent of DoD's use of consortia for other transactions, including award numbers and dollar value, benefits and challenges, and comparison with other agencies. Bears on transparency and oversight of consortium-based OTs.
