About this vote

The bill lets contracts and orders under the General Services Administration's multiple award schedule program be judged on best value rather than lowest overall cost, when the agency decides that serves the government's interests. Suspending the rules is a fast-track procedure that limits debate, does not allow floor amendments, and needs two-thirds of those voting to pass.
