2 U.S.C. § 186 — Library of Congress orders under task and delivery order contracts

(a) Contract modifications: When the Librarian of Congress issues an order under a "task order contract" or "delivery order contract" (specific contract types defined in section 4101 of title 41), that order can't make the underlying contract bigger — it can't increase the contract's scope, time period, or maximum dollar value. Only a formal modification of the contract itself can do that. (b) Omitted: This subsection is not used in the published law. (c) Protests: (1) Normally, companies can protest contract orders. But a protest against an order under this section isn't allowed unless it either: (A) claims the order broke the rule in (a) by expanding the contract; or (B) involves an order worth more than $10,000,000. (2) For protests allowed under (1)(B), the Comptroller General — not the usual process — has sole authority to decide them. (d) Effective date: This section applies starting with fiscal year 2022 and every fiscal year after.
