provided by the Logistics Systems Support Center in St. Louis, Missouri,
and the Industrial Logistics System Center in Chambersburg,
Pennsylvania, should have as a primary goal the sustainment of military
readiness.

of Congress that, in order to sustain readiness, any contract for the
modernization of the computer services referred to in subsection (a), in
addition to containing all of the requirements specified by the

the following practices should be employed by any contractor engaged in
the modernization of the computer services referred to in subsection (a)
to ensure continued readiness:
(1) Testing practices.--Before any proposed modernization solution
is implemented, the solution should be rigorously tested to ensure that
it meets the performance requirements of the Army and all other
functional requirements. At each step in the testing process,
confirmation of successful test completion should be required before the
contractor begins the next step of the modernization process.
(2) Implementation team.--The Secretary of the Army should establish
an implementation team to monitor efficiencies and effectiveness of the
modernization solutions.
(d) Readiness Sustainment.--It is the sense of Congress that the
following additional readiness sustainment measures should be undertaken
as part of the modernization of the computer services referred to in
subsection (a):
(1) Government oversight.--It is extremely important that the Army
Materiel Command retains sufficient in-house expertise to ensure that
readiness is not adversely affected by the modernization efforts and to
effectively oversee contractor performance.
(2) Use of contract partnering.--The Army Materiel Command should
encourage partnerships with the contractor, with the primary goal of
providing quality contract deliverables on time and at a reasonable
price. Any such partnership agreement should constitute a mutual
commitment on how the Army Materiel Command and the contractor will
interact during the course of the contract, with the objective of
facilitating optimum contract performance through teamwork, enhanced
communications, cooperation, and good faith performance.
