Services Act of 1949 [41 U.S.C. 251 et seq.] shall ensure, with
respect to the employees of that agency whose primary duties and
responsibilities pertain to the award of contracts subject to the
provisions of this Act, that the performance appraisal system
applicable to such employees affords appropriate recognition to,
among other factors, efforts -
(1) to increase competition and achieve cost savings through
the elimination of procedures that unnecessarily inhibit full and
open competition;
(2) to further the purposes of the Small Business and Federal
Procurement Competition Enhancement Act of 1984 and the Defense

Federal acquisition system as may be authorized by law.
