What this bill would do

This Act serves to improve the enactment of title 41 of the United States Code into a positive law title. It accomplishes this by making various technical amendments across several existing titles of the United States Code, primarily updating cross-references to reflect new organization. The legislation replaces obsolete references to the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 and the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act with updated citations. Additionally, it establishes a new chapter in title 41 regarding the finality of administrative decisions in certain contract disputes. The bill also updates specific definitions and "Buy American Act" references to chapter 83 of title 41.
