Defense Procurement Program Integrity Act of 1985 - Title I: Unallowable Contract Costs - Revises provisions concerning cost or pricing data given by a contractor or subcontractor in a defense contract. Provides, in an administrative or judicial proceeding to adjust the price of a contract, that it shall be conclusively presumed that the Government relied on all cost and pricing data so furnished by a contractor or subcontractor. Outlines various situations which shall not be a defense to a price adjustment in any such proceeding. Requires interest to be charged in the case of an overpayment by the Government to a contractor or subcontractor due to the submission of inaccurate, incomplete, or non-current cost or pricing data by such contractor or subcontractor.
Title II: Renegotiation Act - Renegotiation Act Amendments of 1985 - Amends the Renegotiation Act of 1951 to direct the Renegotiation Board to renegotiate contracts and subcontracts by division and by major product line within a division of the contractor or subcontractor. Sets the minimum amount subject to renegotiation for contracts or subcontracts for a fiscal year ending after the enactment of the Renegotiation Act Amendments of 1985 at $5,000,000.
