Any Department of Defense contract for the procurement of goods or services with a giant defense contractor shall include a contract clause prohibiting the contractor from hiring or paying (including as a consultant, lobbyist, or lawyer) any covered Department of Defense official within four years after such former official leaves service in the Department of Defense. In this section: The term covered Department of Defense official means a former officer or employee of the Department of Defense or a former or retired member of the Armed Forces who served— in an Executive Schedule position under subchapter II of chapter 53 of title 5, United States Code; in a position in the Senior Executive Service under subchapter VIII of chapter 53 of title 5, United States Code; in a position compensated at a rate of pay for grade O–6 or above under section 201 of title 37, United States Code; or in a supervisory position compensated at a rate of pay for grade GS–15 of the General Schedule under section 5107 of title 5, United States Code, or higher.
The term giant defense contractor means a contractor (other than an institution of higher education) that received an average of more than $1,000,000,000 in annual revenue from the Department of Defense or the Department of Energy for contracted work related to the United States nuclear program in the previous three fiscal years. In the event that a covered Department of Defense official, or a Department of Defense contractor, knowingly fails to comply with the requirements of this section, the Secretary of Defense may take any of the administrative actions set forth in section 2105 of title 41, United States Code, that the Secretary of Defense determines to be appropriate.
The Inspector General of the Department of Defense shall submit to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives an annual report listing the officials or former officials of the Department of Defense described in subsection (a)(2)(A), or any Department of Defense contractor, subject to any of the administrative actions from the Secretary of Defense under the requirements of subsection
