SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

NDAA 08, Section 807 amends section 2330a of Title 10 United States Code to require annual inventories and reviews of activities performed under services contracts. The Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and Technology) (DUSD (A&T)) set forth a phased plan to implement Section 807 requirements. In the memorandum entitled “Inventories and Review of Contracts for Services” (May 16, 2008), the DUSD (A&T) required the U.S. Army to develop a prototype inventory list. The Army developed and provided the prototype inventory list by pulling data from the Contractor Manpower Reporting Application, the Federal Procurement Data System—Next Generation, and the Army Contracting Business Intelligence System. The inventory does not include contract numbers, contractor identification or other proprietary or sensitive information as this data can be used to disclose a contractor's proprietary proposal information.

Additional information about the Army inventory will be provided on the ASA(M&RA) Web site at the following location: http://www.asamra.army.mil/​insourcing/​.

Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Procurement).
