Title: Social and Economic Program Adjustment Act of 1983

social and economic program requirements

Conclusion: No Agency objection _
// Agency objection and/or needs amendment
Analysis. The purpose of this draft bill, prepared by the Department
of Defense, is to amend various statutes implementing social and economic
programs vis a vis DoD contracts so as to raise the dollar threshholds
in the contracts which trigger the programs' involvement. The areas
to be affected are: Davis-Bacon Act, Service Contract Act of 1965,
employment of the handicapped, Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act, affirmative
action for veterans, access to records by the Comptroller General,
purchases of items composed of recoverable materials and contract opportunities
for small business concerns.
The only Agency interest in this legislation would be to obtain
similar benefits if DoD is ultimately successful and if the Agency is
subject to similar ?restrictions. Accordingly, no Agency action is
required at this time.
Generally, the threshholds is being raised from $10K to $25K.
In the case of certain petroleum purchases, however, it is being raised
to $100K. The justifications are inflation and the resulting freeing up
of resources to devote to the large contracts' monitoring and enforcement.
