Solicitation for Comment: Commercial IT Contracting
Over the past several months, the Senate Finance Committee (“Committee”) has been examining federal information technology (“IT”) contracting practices. To assist the Committee in better understanding these practices, Chairman Hatch is now requesting additional feedback from the commercial IT contracting community on the use of commercial or non-developmental products by federal agencies. This link provides the Chairman’s letter outlining the issue as well as specific questions that the Committee would like for the community to respond to. All submissions from stakeholders will be reviewed by Committee staff and ideas may be incorporated into future policy recommendations and/or analysis of this emerging area.
