SEC. 854. KEY PERFORMANCE PARAMETER
REDUCTION PILOT PROGRAM. (a) In General.—The Secretary of Defense may carry out a pilot program under which the Secretary may identify at least one acquisition program in each military department for reduction of the total number of key performance parameters established for the program, for purposes of determining whether operational and programmatic outcomes of the program are improved by such reduction. (b) Limitation On Key Performance Parameters.—Any acquisition program identified for the pilot program carried out under subsection (a) shall establish no more than three key performance parameters, each of which shall describe a program-specific performance attribute. Any key performance parameters for such a program that are required by statute shall be treated as key system attributes. |
Key performance parameter reduction pilot program (sec. 854)
The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 842) that would require the Secretary of Defense to enact a pilot program aimed at decreasing the number of Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) on acquisition programs. The Secretary would be required to select one acquisition program from each of the services to determine if limiting the number of KPPs to three, at the most, leads to operational or programmatic improvements of outcomes. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify the types of key performance parameters that may be reduced in the pilot program. |
