Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congress took action in the FY2007 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 109-364) to move the specialty metal provision from the Berry Amendment (Title 10, United States Code [U.S.C.] 2533a) into a separate section of Title 10 (10 U.S.C. 2533b). Section 843 of P.L. 109-364 directed the Secretary of Defense to establish a Strategic Materials Protection Board to determine, analyze, and recommend strategies to ensure the domestic availability of materials designated as critical to national security. The Board met in July 2007 and issued a report in September 2007. In July 2008, the Department of Defense (DOD) proposed to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement Section 842 of the FY2007 National Defense Authorization Act and Sections 804 and 884 of the FY2008 National Defense Authorization Act, P.L. 110-181. The FY2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110-181) contains several provisions which may impact the procurement of specialty metal. Section 803 requires the Strategic Materials Protection Board to perform an assessment of the viability of domestic producers of strategic materials; Section 804 changes the requirement that DOD procure all specialty metal from domestic sources. This provision does not apply to contracts or subcontracts for the acquisition of commercially available off-the-shelf items (with certain exceptions), as defined in the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act, Section 35(c); and Section 884 requires DOD to publish a notice on the Federal Business Opportunities website before making any nonavailability determinations that would apply to multiple contracts.
Download or read book Black Berets and the Berry Amendment written by William E. Zeller and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores the Berry Amendment and how this important and sometime parochial legislation has affected Department of Defense strategic procurements in recent years. It focuses on a single incident, the procurement of the Army's Black Berets, a strategic decision on the part of the Army Chief of Staff and the Army's symbol of transformation. But more importantly, it shows how this one seminal event caused doubt about the Defense Logistic Agency's ability to deliver goods in time of war. It also demonstrates how politics and parochialism can affect an otherwise benign and insignificant procurement of one piece of military headgear and move it to the center of public and political opinion, illustrating the complexity of logistics at the strategic level.

Book excerpt: CRS-3 materials; and to report the results of that analysis at the next SMPB meeting.4 FY2007 National Defense Authorization Act and the Enactment of a New Specialty Metal Provision Congress enacted provisions in the FY2007 National Defense Authorization Act that changed the statutory authority for the special metal provision. [...] Facing the dilemma of how to supply equipment needed to fight the war, the Senate drew upon the original intent and purpose of the specialty metal provision, as interpreted in a memorandum by then-Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird. [...] Second, what are the factors that contribute to the success or failure of the administration and enforcement of the specialty metal provision?. [...] The issue of reliability has been the cornerstone of why domestic source restrictions, like the specialty metal provision, are viewed by some as essential to the viability of the domestic defense industrial base. [...] This provision grants the Secretary of Defense the authority to give a "one-time waiver"of the specialty metal domestic source requirement, under certain conditions.31 Finally, the new specialty metal provision authorizes the creation of a Strategic Materials Protection Board.
