Subtitle F—Other Matters

P. L. 116-

House Conference Report   116-617

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 843) that would amend section 830 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to exclude modifications to a defense service or article requiring significant development work from the requirement to use firm fixed price contracts for foreign military sales. The provision would also prohibit the Secretary of Defense from delegating the authority to waive such requirement below the level of the Service Acquisition Executive.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

The Senate recedes with an amendment that would repeal section 830 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017.

This section would amend section 830 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) by applying the requirement for firm, fixed-price type contract vehicles exclusively to production contracts for foreign military sales cases whether on a stand-alone contract, on a mixed contract for both domestic and foreign military sales production, or on a mixed contract for both international cooperative program and foreign military sales production.
