Defense Contract Price Transparency: Mandatory Reporting of Cost Increases.
This act aims to increase transparency in defense spending by requiring companies to report significant price increases for products and services in government contracts. This ensures taxpayers' money is spent more efficiently and the government has better control over military procurement costs. Companies failing to report increases will be publicly noted, potentially impacting future contracts.
Key points
Companies supplying products or services to the military must report price increases of 25% or 50% compared to initial bids or previous government purchases.
Failure to report required price increases will result in public disclosure of the company and non-compliance details in a government contractor information system.
These rules apply to contracts awarded without full competition, aiming to prevent abuses where the government has limited supplier choices.
