                                 A BILL


 
To require the Department of Defense to utilize managed print services.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Department of Defense Managed Print 
Services Utilization Act of 2017''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) On December 5, 2016, Craig Whitlock and Bob Woodward of 
        the Washington Post published an article entitled ``Pentagon 
        Buries Evidence of $125 Billion in Bureaucratic Waste'' 
        (``Article'').
            (2) In this article, Whitlock and Woodward made public the 
        Defense Business Board report ``Transforming DOD's Core 
        Business Processes for Revolutionary Change'' (``Report'').
            (3) Recommendations on page 22 of the report state that a 
        ``move to managed print services'' presents a ``20-30% savings 
        opportunity'' which would save the American taxpayer millions 
        of dollars annually.

SEC. 3. MANAGED PRINT SERVICES.

    The Secretary of Defense shall, to the extent practicable, pursue 
managed print services within the Department of Defense.
                                 <all>
