(Sec. 4508) Requires a report from the GSA Administrator to Congress concerning databases of federal contracting and grants. (Sec. 4509) Requires the OMB Director to direct appropriate revisions to the Federal Procurement Data System (or any successor system) to facilitate the collection of complete, timely, and reliable data on interagency contracting actions and on transactions other than federal research contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements. (Sec. 4510) Amends the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act to state that, if a motion for change of custody of a child of a servicemember is filed while such servicemember is deployed in support of a contingency operation, no court may act on such motion, except to enter a temporary custody order if there is clear and convincing evidence that it is in the best interest of the child. Prohibits a court, under a custody motion, from considering the absence of the servicemember by reason of deployment, or the possibility of deployment, in determining the best interest of the child.
