Acquisition: Pilot Program to Treat Procurements of Certain Commercial Services as Commercial Items

Abstract

The National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2000, Public Law 106-65 (the Act), section 814, Pilot Program for Commercial Services, permits the Secretary of Defense to initiate a pilot program to treat procurements of certain services as commercial items. It covers the following services: utilities and housekeeping services, education and training services, and medical services. The DoD awarded about $6.38 billion in contracts for these types of services during FY 2000. The Act requires the Secretary of Defense, after the third full fiscal year of the pilot program, to report on the impact of the pilot program on the prices paid for commercial services covered by the program; the quality and timeliness of services provided; and the extent of competition for the contracts.
