TITLE VIII--ACQUISITION POLICY, ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT, AND RELATED MATTERS

Subtitle G - Provisions Relating to Other Transaction Authority and Prototyping

P. L. 115-

House Conference Report. 115-404

Section 804(c)(2) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114–92; 10 U.S.C. 2302 note) is amended—

(1) by striking subparagraph (C); and

(2) by redesignating subparagraphs (D) and (E) as subparagraphs (C) and (D), respectively.

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 826) that would amend section 804(c)(2) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114–92) to eliminate the cost-sharing requirement for the rapid prototyping and fielding for middle tier acquisition programs.

The House bill contained no similar provision.

The House recedes with an amendment that would remove the requirement to update the Defense Acquisition Regulation Supplement with simplified procedures.

The conferees note that the Department of Defense remains delinquent on implementing the original provision from the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016, which should have been implemented by April 2016. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing on implementation of section 804 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114–92) no later than 90 days following the enactment of this Act.
