A bill to amend the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act to establish a governmentwide policy requiring competition in certain executive agency procurements.

Summary

Amends the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act to require the head of each executive agency, in the procurement of any product authorized to be offered for sale by Federal Prison Industries (FPI), to: (1) use competitive procedures for the procurement of such product; or (2) make an individual purchase under a multiple award contract in accordance with competition requirements applicable to such purchases. Requires each agency head, in conducting such a procurement, to: (1) notify FPI of the procurement at the same time that other offerors are notified; and (2) consider a timely offer from FPI in the same manner as other offers. Outlines exceptions to the competitive procedures requirement, including when: (1) the Attorney General determines that the FPI cannot reasonably expect fair consideration in such an award; and (2) the product is available only from FPI. Prohibits a contractor from being required to use FPI as a subcontractor or supplier of products or services under an agency contract. Provides for the protection of classified and sensitive information under contracts between an executive agency and the FPI. Amends the Federal criminal code to prohibit the sale of any services furnished wholly or in part by convicts or prisoners except those on parole, release, or probation or in any penal or reform institution.
