Bill overview
This bill, the Federal Acquisition E-Commerce Fairness and Competition Act, directs the General Services Administration (GSA) to expand its testing program for different e-commerce portal models used for federal procurement. Specifically, the GSA must test at least three models and provide regular reports to Congress on the testing’s progress and results. The bill also includes a provision to prevent companies with massive market capitalization, like Amazon, from unfairly competing with smaller suppliers through the federal e-commerce portal.
