Amendment to Prohibit Department of Defense Insourcing Functions

May. 22, 2014 | H.R. 4435
Amendment offered by Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-Ks.) to H.R. 4435, the 2015 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), that would effectively prohibit the Department of Defense (DoD) from insourcing functions that were performed by contractor employees before the date of NDAA's enactment. DoD would be forced to use contractors for the performance of inherently governmental functions until a new cost comparison process is developed‚ regardless of the increased risk to the public interest. DoD would never be able to stop using contractors for many functions‚Äîregardless the increased risk to the public. DoD would never be able to correct - through insourcing - contracts that cost too much or are poorly performed - regardless of the increased costs to the taxpayers. The amendment was rejected.

This is Bad for working people.
