Update on Section 809 Panel | PNWC’s Government Contracting Update

It is time for an update on the activities of the Section 809 Panel, an advisory panel formed to streamline the Defense Department’s acquisition regulations. The name ‘Section 809 Panel” comes from Section 809 of the Fiscal Year 2016 NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act). For more information on this panel, refer to “New Advisory Panel to be Formed to Streamline Acquisition Regulations“. Briefly, the Section 809 Panel’s overarching objective has been to make recommendations that, if adopted, will enable DoD to more consistently buy what it needs in a timely and cost-effective manner – whether that be commercial items, information technology, services, weapon systems, or the full range of tools and equipment on which war-fighters depend.
