# 41 U.S.C. § 3105 - New contracts and grants and merit-based selection procedures
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) Congressional Policy.— It is the policy of Congress that—
|
||
|
||
(1) an executive agency should not be required by legislation to award—
|
||
|
||
(A) a new contract to a specific non-Federal Government entity; or
|
||
|
||
(B) a new grant for research, development, test, or evaluation to a non-Federal Government entity; and
|
||
|
||
(2) a program, project, or technology identified in legislation be procured or awarded through merit-based selection procedures.
|
||
|
||
(b) New Contract and New Grant Described.— For purposes of this section—
|
||
|
||
(1) a contract is a new contract unless the work provided for in the contract is a continuation of the work performed by the specified entity under a prior contract; and
|
||
|
||
(2) a grant is a new grant unless the work provided for in the grant is a continuation of the work performed by the specified entity under a prior grant.
|
||
|
||
(c) Requirements for Awarding New Contract or New Grant.— A provision of law may not be construed as requiring a new contract or a new grant to be awarded to a specified non-Federal Government entity unless the provision of law specifically—
|
||
|
||
(1) refers to this section;
|
||
|
||
(2) identifies the particular non-Federal Government entity involved; and
|
||
|
||
(3) states that the award to that entity is required by the provision of law in contravention of the policy set forth in subsection (a).
|
||
|
||
(d) Exception.— This section does not apply to a contract or grant that calls on the National Academy of Sciences to investigate, examine, or experiment on a subject of science or art of significance to an executive agency and to report on those matters to Congress or an agency of the Federal Government.
