House Vote on Anti-Reverse Auctions and Design-Build Legislation Next Week
The House Armed Services Committee recently included a number of AGC procurement reform priorities in a major Department of Defense bill – the National Defense Authorization Act.  The AGC priorities in the legislation include provisions that would help to:
- Prohibit reverse auctions for construction services;
- Promote greater accuracy, transparency and accountability in the reporting of contract bundling and consolidation; and
- Enable more small businesses to apply for and receive loans through the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
