Agreement Needed on DoD Guidelines for Exempting Certain ADP Equipment and Service Procurements from the Brooks Act.

Abstract

Section 908 of the 1982 DOD Authorization Act (10 U.S.C. 2315) modifies the coverage of Section 111 of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949--the Brooks Act (40 U.S.C. 759)--by exempting certain DOD procurements of ADP equipment and services. In addition to a general exemption concerning equipment and services 'critical to direct fulfillment of military or intelligence missions' discussed below, the Authorization Act specifically exempts from the requirements of Public Law 89-306 DOD's procurement of ADP equipment or services if the function, operation, or use of the equipment or services involves: (1) intelligence activities, (2) cryptologic activities related to national security, (3) the command and control of military forces, and (4) equipment that is an integral part of a weapon or weapons systems.
