Summary
Construction Consensus Procurement Improvement Act of 2020
This bill prohibits the federal government from using a reverse auction for the award of a contract for complex, specialized, or substantial design and construction services. A reverse auction allows the seller to bid down the price of a project and typically results in the contractor with the lowest bid winning the contract.
