  SA 1950. Mrs. McCASKILL submitted an amendment intended to be 
proposed to amendment SA 1463 proposed by Mr. McCain to the bill H.R. 
1735, to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2016 for military 
activities of the Department of Defense, for military construction, and 
for defense activities of the Department of Energy, to prescribe 
military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for other 
purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

       Beginning on page 419, strike line 23 and all that follows 
     through page 420, line 3 and insert the following:
       (2) establish a process by which the contractor may appeal 
     a determination by a contracting officer that an earlier 
     determination was made in error or was based on inadequate 
     information to the head of contracting for the agency; and
       (3) establish a process by which a commercial item 
     determination can be revoked in cases where the contracting 
     officer has determined that an item may no longer meet the 
     definition of a commercial item and through a price-
     reasonableness determination it is found that the Department 
     of Defense would pay more for the item than it had previously 
     or another source could provide a similar item for a lower 
     price.
