(2) The Initiative has the potential for realizing significant cost savings and improving the management of defense equipment and supplies throughout their lifecycle. (3) The Initiative can help the Department combat the growing problem of counterfeit parts in the military supply chain. (b) Sense of Congress- It is the sense of Congress-- (1) to support efforts by the Department of Defense to implement the Item Unique Identification Initiative; (2) to support measures to verify contractor compliance with section 252.211-7003 (entitled `Item Identification and Valuation') of the Defense Supplement to the Federal Acquisition Regulation, on Unique Identification, which states that a unique identification equivalent recognized by the Department is required for certain acquisitions; (3) to encourage the Armed Forces to adopt and implement Item Unique Identification actions and milestones; and (4) to support investment of sufficient resources and continued training and leadership to enable the Department to capture meaningful data and optimize the benefits of the Item Unique Identification Initiative. |
Sense of Congress on the continuing
progress of the Department of Defense in implementing its Item
Unique Identification Initiative (sec. 807)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 827) that would express the sense of the Senate in support of efforts by the Department of Defense to implement its item unique identification initiative. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with a technical amendment that would make the provision a sense of Congress. |
