Bill overview
This bill prohibits the federal government from using reverse auctions to award contracts for complex design and construction projects. It argues that reverse auctions are not suitable for these types of projects, which often require specialized expertise and careful planning. The bill aims to ensure that these important projects are awarded based on qualifications and experience rather than simply the lowest price. It also establishes a process for defining what constitutes a ‘complex, specialized, or substantial’ design and construction service.
