Allow contracts for severable services to cross fiscal years. The Federal Property and Administrative Services Act should be amended to authorize civilian agencies that use annual appropriations to enter into contracts for severable services with a period of performance that crosses fiscal years so long as the term does not exceed one year unless the contract is a multiyear contract specifically authorized by statute. This legislation would allow federal agencies to reduce their administrative costs by eliminating the need for "availability of funds" clauses.
