  The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has scheduled voting on a series of management policy bills including:
  
  * HR-1118, to change what is considered “competitive procedures” with respect to contracts awarded by the GSA Multiple Award Schedule program, to allow for orders and contracts that result in “best value” as opposed to “lowest overall cost alternative.”

  * HR-2985, to reauthorize the Technology Modernization Fund, require TMF awards to be reimbursed at the level needed to ensure the fund is operational, and create a new requirement that agencies reimburse administrative fees. The bill also requires each agency to create an inventory of its legacy IT systems to be used by Congress to evaluate agency and government-wide priority items for legacy IT modernization and to assess how well the TMF does in funding these projects.
