AGC Advances Legislative Priorities in Defense Bill

Design-Build and Reverse Auction Reforms Pass House & Senate On Dec. 12, the Senate passed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (NDAA) bill, which includes AGC-supported provisions on design-build and reverse auction procurement reform impacting Department of Defense construction contractors. The House passed the same NDAA bill last week and it now moves to President Obama for his signature into law, which is expected. AGC has pressed for design-build reform and the prohibition of reverse auctions for construction services throughout this Congress and will continue to press for their final enactment. While these provisions are a positive step forward, AGC will continue to advocate for further reform in the new Congress in 2015 that address the entire federal government.
