HR 5176 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Defense Industry Pricing Transparency Act
To amend title 10, United States Code, to require reporting of certain price increases for covered contracts, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill requires defense contractors to report significant price increases on non-competitive government contracts to the contracting officer. Contractors must report within 30 days when a product or service price increases by 25 percent above the contract bid price, 25 percent above what the government paid in the prior year, or 50 percent above what the government paid at any point in the previous five years. If a contractor fails to submit the required report, the information will be recorded in the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System, which tracks contractor performance and award eligibility. The bill applies only to contracts awarded without full competitive bidding procedures.
