Bill Summary
Repeals the limit (eight) on the number of cooperative arrangements that may be entered into by Army industrial facilities with non-Army entities. Makes such authority permanent (under current law, terminates at the end of FY2014). Revises a report requirement under the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 to include an assessment of the effectiveness of the use of such authority and recommendations to improve the ability of each facility to compete for such contracts. Requires each military industrial facility of the military departments and defense agencies (other than facilities approved for closure or major realignment under the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990) to be designated as a Center of Industrial and Technical Excellence in the recognized core competencies of the designee.
AI Summary
This bill makes permanent and expands the authority for Army industrial facilities to collaborate with non-Army entities, removing the previous limit of eight such cooperative arrangements and eliminating the end date of fiscal year 2014 for this authority. It also revises a reporting requirement from the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 to include an assessment of how effective these collaborations have been and to offer suggestions for improving each facility's ability to win contracts. Furthermore, the bill mandates that most military industrial facilities, excluding those slated for closure or major realignment under the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, be officially recognized as Centers of Industrial and Technical Excellence, highlighting their core areas of expertise.
