COMMITTEE ON RULES: Mr. McGovern of Massachu-

Attest:
Clerk.
(1) In the construction industry, specialty sub-
contractors now perform the majority of construc-
tion work, in certain cases 100 percent of the work, 
under the management of a prime contractor, mak-
ing the subcontractors’ price and performance the 
key determinant in the overall cost of construction 
projects, including those performed for the Federal 
Government. 
(2) Detrimental practices known as ‘‘bid shop-
ping’’ and ‘‘bid peddling’’ exist in the construction 
industry, including construction projects for the 
Federal Government. 
(3) ‘‘Bid shopping’’ occurs when a contractor, 
after award of a contract, contracts with subcontrac-
tors at a price less than the quoted price of the sub-
contractor upon which the contractor’s fixed bid 
price was based, in order to increase the contractor’s 
profit on the project without any benefit to the enti-
ty for which the contract is being performed. 
(4) ‘‘Bid peddling’’ occurs when a subcontractor 
that is not selected for inclusion in a contractor’s 
team seeks to induce the contractor, after award of 
the contract, to substitute the subcontractor for an-
other subcontractor whose bid price was reflected in 
the successful bid of the contractor by offering to re-
