Procurement Integrity Act (PIA)

Return to Glossary

The Procurement Integrity Act (PIA) prohibits the release of source selection and contractor bid or proposal information. Also, a former employee who served in certain positions on a procurement action or contract in excess of $10 million is barred for one year from receiving compensation as an employee or consultant from that contractor.

The PIA post-employment restrictions on receiving compensation are in addition to the post-employment restrictions of 18 U.S.C. § 207. See “Leaving Government.”
