Defense Contractor Competition Act
This bill requires the Comptroller General to assess how mergers between defense contractors have affected competition over the past decade. It mandates a report to congressional defense committees covering four key areas: the effectiveness of remedies for past mergers, information sharing between agencies (Attorney General, FTC, Defense Secretary), how the Defense Secretary measures vertical integration's impact on competition, and implementation of prior recommendations to boost competition. The report will analyze data collection methods and access to information from contractors involved in mergers. This directly affects defense contractors, government agencies reviewing acquisitions, and congressional committees overseeing defense spending.
