This section appears in one version only, so there is nothing to compare yet.

Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report on contracts awarded to offerors of software applications and software services for which a waiver of security requirements relating to such applications and services has been granted. Such report shall include the following: (1) The name of the software application or service. (2) The number and type of waivers that were granted to statutes, regulations, and policies. (3) A comprehensive justification for granting the waiver instead of awarding the contract to a compliant offeror.
