| Prohibits Reverse Auctions for Construction Contracts Rep. Richard Hanna (R-N.Y.) introduced AGC-supported legislation that would help prohibit reverse auctions for direct-federal construction services contracts. The Commonsense Contracting Act of 2015, H.R. 1444, would prohibit reverse auctions for all federal small business set-aside construction contracts, including for the performance of construction work for facility, infrastructure and environmental restoration projects as well as the delivery and supply of construction materials to construction sites. Please ask your representatives to co-sponsor H.R. 1444. AGC testified in favor of prohibiting reverse auctions for construction services before the House Small Business Committee on Feb. 12. The committee passed H.R. 1444, along with other AGC-supported procurement reform provisions, by a unanimous vote on March 25. Again, please take action and ask your representatives to co-sponsor H.R. 1444 to help prohibit reverse auctions for construction services contracts.
