Bills Introduced – 7-19-22

Yesterday, with both the House and Senate in Washington, there were 36 bills introduced. One of those bills may see additional coverage in this blog:

S 4553 A bill to extend other transaction authority for the Department of Homeland Security. Sen. Peters, Gary C. [D-MI]

Okay, this may be a bit too government geeky even for me, but I will be watching this bill for definitions and language that would specifically include cybersecurity services within the scope of the OTA.

OTA - other transaction authority - A legal instrument (award) issued by the federal government that is not a contract, cooperative agreement or grant. There is no standard set of regulations or template for this award.
