submitted 24 years ago by Pub. L. 107-296 to r/title-6-DOMESTIC-SECURITY · 91 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Every federal agency must keep researching the marketplace for new suppliers. The agency must look for small businesses that can help against nuclear, biological, chemical, or radiological attack. Agencies must use commercial market research tools, like databases, whenever practical.

Every executive agency must keep researching the marketplace on an ongoing basis. The goal is to find businesses — including small businesses and companies new to federal contracting — that can meet the agency's needs. This applies specifically to work connected with defending against or recovering from terrorism, or from a nuclear, biological, chemical, or radiological attack. The head of the agency must, to the maximum extent practicable, use commercially available market research methods to do this. That includes using commercial databases to find and evaluate potential contractors.
