Melissa P. Prusock, Michael J. Schaengold, and Eleanor M. Ross co-authored the article "A Comprehensive Review Of The Fiscal Year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act’s Federal Procurement Law Provisions" in the Briefing Papers.
This article offers a comprehensive analysis of the Fiscal Year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (FY 2024 NDAA) and its implications for federal procurement law. The FY 2024 NDAA broadly focuses on China, the Defense Industrial Base, supply chain, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI), and efforts to streamline the acquisition process (including commercial buying). It also includes various provisions impacting small businesses. These themes are a continuation of themes in last year’s NDAA and were driven in part by the bipartisan and bicameral focus on China. This focus is not just about security. It’s also about decoupling, which is driving policy from industrial base and supply-chain to cybersecurity and software acquisition.
The NDAA includes procurement law reforms and changes impacting not only the Department of Defense, but also federal civilian agencies. The FY 2024 NDAA’s procurement-related reforms and changes are primarily in the NDAA’s “Title VIII—Acquisition Policy, Acquisition Management, and Related Matters.” This article comprehensively addresses provisions in Title VIII of the NDAA, as well as significant provisions impacting procurement law in other titles of the NDAA.
