## Summary

**This bill would make the federal government _limit competition with private providers_ by forcing agencies to rely on commercial sources when those options are more economical.** It would also restrict federal employees to inherently governmental duties and set rules and timelines for shifting commercial activities to private firms. - Agencies and federal employees: Agencies would have to stop providing goods or services when a private option is more economical and limit federal staff to "inherently governmental" tasks as defined by existing law. - Private-sector providers: Private firms would gain more contract opportunities because agencies must either divest, award competitive contracts, or run public-private sourcing contests to establish best value. - Oversight and timeline: The Office of Management and Budget would write implementing rules, produce an annual study and report to Congress by June 30, and include a schedule to transfer commercial activities to the private sector within 5 years of each report.
