Feds want to buy off Amazon. But will that clash with acquisition regulations?
Federal Times: With the e-commerce platforms of today — most notably Amazon, but others too —consumers can search, purchase and receive almost any needed item in a matter of days. It’s a level of convenience that looks particularly desirable in the shadow of an often long and expensive government acquisition process.
Presumably that’s why the General Services Administration and Office of Management and Budget released an initial plan for bringing such e-commerce platforms into government agencies March 16, 2018. The plan was mandated under Section 846 of the National Defense Authorization Act, nicknamed the “Amazon provision,” for its clear focus on large-scale e-commerce providers.
