This bill amends Title 10, United States Code, to enhance accountability for contractors providing cost and pricing data to the Department of Defense. Its primary objective is to eliminate a specific defense contractors can use when their submitted data is found to be defective, which can lead to inflated contract prices. The legislation modifies Section 3706(c) of Title 10 by adding a new condition: contractors cannot avoid a price reduction if their updates to cost or pricing data , submitted after the contract price agreement, were based on information that was more than 30 days old . This change aims to ensure the government receives the most current and accurate pricing information, thereby promoting greater fiscal responsibility in military procurement.
