Summary
Foreign Contracting Audit Equity Act of 1990 - Requires executive agencies to include in each solicitation of bids or proposals for a contract (excluding contracts awarded under sealed-bid procedures) for the procurement of goods or services by a foreign contractor specifications which entitle the agency to inspect the plant and audit the books of the contractor. Requires agencies to include in the contract a clause which entitles the U.S. Comptroller General to examine any record of the contractor relating to a contract transaction. Grants the contracting officer the right to examine all records of the bid or proposal, discussions on the bid or proposal, pricing, or performance of the contract in order to verify any certification or statement made by a foreign contractor regarding such a contract. Authorizes executive agency heads to require by subpoena the production of all evidence necessary in the performance of functions pursuant to this Act. Sets forth penalties for violations of this Act.
