A bill to amend the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 to authorize multiyear contracts in certain cases.
Civilian Agency Multiyear Contracting Act of 1984 - Amends the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 to authorize a Federal agency to enter into a multiyear contract (not exceeding five years) for the acquisition of property or services if: (1) adequate appropriations are available to make contract payments for the first year; (2) there is a reasonable expectation that the agency will request adequate funding for the contract period; (3) the contract will serve the Government's best interests by reducing costs, achieving economies in performance, improving contractor performance, or encouraging competition; (4) the minimum need and specifications for such services or property will remain stable; and (5) the contract will not inhibit small business participation. Allows such a contract to provide that performance during the second or any subsequent year is contingent on the appropriation of funds for that year and that a cancellation charge shall be paid to the contractor if performance is cancelled. Requires cancellation of contract performance if no appropriations are available for the contract during the second or subsequent year of the contract period.
