“This is really pretty simple. A constituent came to me with a problem concerning procurement for aviation helmets. He has a manufacturing company here in the United States, but he is not able to sell his helmets to the Department of the Interior. His helmets are not inferior. They are used by many industries. They are used in many countries. But he is not on the approved list for Federal agencies. Currently, the approved list includes only one manufacturer. My amendment will change this by providing additional options through competition. The amendment requires compliance with the Federal acquisition regulation policy that ensures a full and open process in procuring aviation helmets. Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this great amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Posey). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 65 Offered by Mr. Denham The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 65 printed in House Report 115-830.”
