The Senate also added several provisions that would apply only at DoD, which conducts the majority of the government’s contracting-out. One would continue a requirement that functions employing 10 or more in-house employees must be put through a formal cost study before being converted to contractor performance, and further prohibiting splitting functions into smaller units in order to avoid that restriction. Another provision would require that in-house employees be given “fair consideration” for new work, effectively barring the practice of automatically contracting for new commercial type work. The Senate also added new reporting requirements and limited the situations in which contracts could be overseen by other contractors rather than by agency employees.
