SA 3382. Mr. COBURN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the bill H.R. 1, making appropriations for the Department of
Defense and the other departments and agencies of the Government for
the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, and for other purposes;
which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

After section 1105, insert the following:
Sec. 1106. (a) Prohibition on Use of Funds for Future
Disaster Recovery Contracts Not Competitively Awarded.--
Amounts appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act
may not be obligated or expended for any contract awarded
after the date of the enactment of this Act in support of
disaster recovery if such contract was awarded using other
than competitive procedures as otherwise required by chapter
33 of title 41, United States Code, section 2304 of title 10,
United States Code, and the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
(b) Current No-bid Contracts.--
(1) Review of contracts.--Not later than 60 days after the
date of the enactment of this Act, Federal agencies shall
conduct a review of all contracts to support disaster
recovery that were awarded before the date of the enactment
of this Act using other than competitive procedures in order
to determine the following:
(A) Whether opportunities exist to achieve cost savings
under such contracts.
(B) Whether the requirements being met by such contracts
can be met using a new or existing contract awarded through
competitive procedures.
(2) Competitive award of contracts.--If a Federal agency
determines pursuant to the review under paragraph (1) that
either subparagraph of that paragraph applies to a contract
awarded using other than competitive procedures, the agency
shall take appropriate actions with respect to the contract,
whether to achieve cost savings under the contract, to use a
new or existing contract awarded through competitive
procedures to meet applicable requirements, or otherwise to
discontinue of the use of the contract.
