Increased transparency in government contracts: mandatory reporting of data denials.
This Act increases transparency in public spending, particularly concerning defense contracts. It mandates the public recording of companies that deny requests for uncertified cost or pricing data, aiming for better oversight of taxpayer money. This change provides the government with a clearer picture of contractor reliability, potentially leading to more efficient use of public funds.
Key points
Mandatory Reporting: Companies bidding for contracts that deny requests for uncertified cost data must be mandatorily recorded in the government's contractor information system.
Increased Oversight: Information about data denials will be entered into the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), enhancing transparency and facilitating the assessment of contractor integrity.
Protecting Public Funds: The change aims to ensure the government pays fair prices for goods and services, indirectly protecting taxpayer money.
