§186 — Title 2 The Congress | U.S. Code

Summary

Orders placed by the Librarian of Congress under a task-order or delivery-order contract must not increase the contract’s scope, time period, or top dollar amount. Task-order and delivery-order contracts — certain types of government contracts (see section 4101 of title 41). Only a formal contract change can raise those things. You can only protest such an order under federal protest rules if you say it broke that rule or if the order is over $10,000,000. Protests about orders over $10,000,000 go only to the Comptroller General. Rule starts in fiscal year 2022 and continues after.
