Fewer Contracts Subject to Tighter DoD Conflict-of-interest Rule

摘要

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has significantly narrowed the scope of contracts it will subject to a tighter conflict-of-interest rule. In a final rule published Dec. 29 in the Federal Register, the Pentagon said it will exempt information technology and professional services contracts from being subject to the new rule. Only contracts relating to major weapon systems, systems engineering and technical assistance will be subject.
